MacOS as gateway

Question

Computer networks

There is a need to monitor traffic from my smartphone.

There is a poppy at hand, I thought about using Wireshark and transferring the period by turning off encryption, but for some reason he does not see the wlan0 interface on the macbook. I thought, is it possible to specify not a router, but the IP of a macbook as the main gateway on the phone, then, according to the idea, everything will go through the computer and I will be able to monitor traffic.

I thought - I did it, but it didn’t work, it’s clear that the smart sends DNS, HTTP and other requests but receives nothing in response, nothing works. I decided to ask if it is possible to force makos to distribute the Internet?

Answer 1

You need to enable Internet Sharing in System Preferences.

Answer 2

I have a proshka, at home so far I have only used cable Internet, it distributes everything. I just didn't try to sniff.
