title: Configuring iTerm and Git to use a proxy on OS X
body: <p>I am successfully connecting to the internet using an application called tether for a jailbroken iphone.  (I know there's better options now).  </p>
  
  <p>My iphone is connected to my laptop's wifi "device network".</p>
  
  <p>I have in my OS X network settings a location called iphone and the proxy is configured to use the correct IP and port for the phone.  </p>
  
  <p>I can browse the internet using Chrome over http and https perfectly.</p>
  
  <p>iTerm cannot ping google.  Git cannot pull.  I've googled for days and don't see anything "easy" or that I understand.  Any advice is appreciated.</p>
