About BlueVPN [DUN client]
This program opens a VPN connection through the bluetooth channel and implement reverse DUN features. It requires BlueDUN installed and running on the host device or a GPRS modem/phone with an available BT DUN profile.

This app works ONLY IF your device can manage VPN connections, in particular if the TUN.KO module is present. This module strictly depends on the hardware and must be compiled specifically for it. Some manufacturers prepare the firmware without re-compile that module or they even remove the file, so, it is not possible to open a VPN and not possible to use apps for the VPN (like OpenVPN or DroidVPN); please take a look to this link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aed.tun.installer

INSTALLATION:
1. Create the BT pairing between this client device (with BlueVPN installed) and the host device
2. Make sure you have a valid internet connection and the BT-DUN profile on host; if necessary install the BlueDUN app
3. Create a new VPN L2TP connection on client device, set "BlueVPN" as name and the VPN server equals to "127.0.0.1"
4. In case of direct modem connection (no Android phones) insert in the setting panel, the dial phone number, the access point and the other connection parameters

NORMAL USAGE:
1. Enable the wifi/mobile data connection on client (required only to allow the VPN connection opening, but not used for data transfers)
2. Activate the bluetooth interface or open the BlueDUN app on host device
3. Open the BlueVPN app on client, click the host name in the BT device list
4. If BlueVPN does not connect automatically (Honeycomb), start it manually from the system settings (set any username and password)
5. While BlueVPN is connected you can open a browser and navigate the internet throught the bluetooth tethering

NOTE - there are applications that cannot retrieve network data from the VPN connection due to an Android bug (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=33666), please refer to the following list:

App History & Updates

What's Changed
- solved the disconnection issues
- added the client interface for no Android modem/phones (reverse DUN)
- added the Modem compatibility option
At the moment, this app requires a Wi-Fi connection to start-up the VPN. I'm working to bypass this limitation.
For Honeycomb devices disconnect the VPN before stop the BlueVPN app (possible system crash otherwise), for other Android versions the VPN should disconnect automatically when exit the app.

For some reason it will connect okay, and i can browse, with the problem that with every page i click it tells me i don't have a internet connection and i hit cancel, and it works. Most apps tell me check my internet connection and dont work. The phone i am tethering to is a LG Env Touch

Works like a charm, out of the box. Simple interface, rich settings panel. Ideal app for anyone that wants to use some old phone as bluetooth modem. However theres one problem - some apps does not understand that internet is working, and tells to check internet connection, but i suppose that's a problem that should be solved by those programs' developers.

wifi limitation is only half-solving my problem. maybe time to upgrade my phone to ics? ;) btw. to answer question in previous review - I use it in car with wifi connection at home and then no connection due roaming data turned off using old nokia with other sim card. but that doesn't work on my way back as there's no wifi in starting point

the reverse DUN feature provides the possibility to dial-up a gprs connection through NONE Android phones, which is exactly the android lacking of. But this app requires a wifi connection in the first place, which,... ,well ,how should i put it, why would someone need the bluetooth dun while there is a wifi avaible? Is there anyway to solve this? i mean, to use the reverse DUN feature without a wifi connection?
