Developers routing selected traffic through iPhones
Worth noticing
The site says unplugged phones fail requests rather than falling back to Wi-Fi, and DNS lookups stay bound to the phone’s USB link.

Field notes

The examples show separate local endpoints for two named iPhones, including both HTTP and SOCKS5 formats. The page says requests fail if a phone is unplugged instead of silently switching to Wi-Fi, and describes a routing check intended to catch accidental full-traffic routing. Its price comparison uses a 150 GB monthly scenario and identifies the cited US Mobile plan as $32.50 per iPhone.
