Bluetooth Tethering - Motorola Droid Bionic

I am wondering if this method also goes through the same authentication process via the SIMcard like wifi tethering does?
So is it as readily trackable as wifi tethering?

It is looks like Bluetooth PAN not detectible yet but I can't guaranty that. It use absolutely different way and embedded tethering application ignore Bluetooth PAN as not tetherable interface.
Code:
Tethering: bnep0 is not a tetherable iface, ignoring
In addition, Bluetooth PAN can work on original ROM (if verizon network in your area are provided IPv4 DNS addresses only) without any modifications (it would use 100% CPU but it work) and It does not requesting any additional service options from Verizon. And only bugs in DNSMASQ prevent Bluetooth PAN usage in stock ROM with IPv6 DNS address

Forcing all network traffic to use the VPN over 3G

Hello,
I have no problem connecting to my VPN using PPTP over both WiFi and 3G.
The problem I am having is that when I use the 3G connection and VPN http requests are not routed through the VPN connection. When using the WiFi connection everything works as expected and http request are routed to my corporate network.
Now, I have set up the URL exceptions and think that I've done everything else I am supposed to (but obviously not). Does ANYONE know which registry settings need to be tweaked to force all traffic (or even just http) to use the VPN when connected to 3G?
Thanks in advance, Maxim.

Wifi Tethering Question

When I turn off tethering and I end the task in task manager, it still shows up on view wireless networks on my computer. Does the program always stay running or something? I don't understand, thanks for any answers.
I noticed that behavior as well. I think, though I am not certain, this is due to the nature of ad-hoc wireless networks:
When you joined the network you became part of the G1Tether network. When you stopped the tethering however your computer can remain a part of the ad-hoc network. An ad-hoc network is nothing more than a group of nodes that agree to transmit on the same frequency with the same ID. Individual nodes can come an go from the network without invalidating it. In this case your laptop would be the last node. If you were to restart tethering the G1 would in essence be re-joining an existing ad-hoc network.
The fact that the G1 was the DHCP and gateway provider makes the network of limited utility without it, but it can go on existing.
Does that make sense?

[Question] Bluetooth PAN network on Jelly Bean and later

Hello.
I am using n7000 like media device, music, games, video. SIM card is not installed. Most of the time I am share internet from my iPhone by Bluetooth PAN.
As I understood starting from Jelly Bean google replaced BlueZ Bluetooth stack by BlueDroid from Broadcom.
Problem is that Bluetooth PAN doesn't work on any JB rom ( stock custom or AOSP) that is why I am stack with ICS roms.
I tried to troubleshoot this issue, but unsuccessful.
By default n7000 receives ipv6 IP address from iPhone.
Dhcpcd bt-pan
makes possible to receive ipv4 address. So it possible to ping 8.8.8.8.
getprop net.dns1
Provides DNS of priveously connected WIFI network.
Setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
resets DNS settings, but name resolving still doesn't work.
QUESTIONS:
How to push OS to renew DNS settings?
How to rollback Bluetooth stack to BlueZ on JB and KIT-kat ROMs?
Ps
I am apologize for my bad English.

Ok.
After some additional troubleshooting i found that inside android exist several DNS settings per interface.
Also it seams that DHCP configured correctly only for wi-fi (wlan0) interface.
For bluetooth PAN (reverse tether) Android creates bt-pan interface and can't assign DNS settings correctly.
Did you manage to solve this? I am stuck at the same situation you describe (with another device, KFHD7).

Root cause is that BT-PAN dont works correctly.
1 - bt-pan interface cant recive IP address from other device
2 - DNS settings is not updated after connection to BT PAN. Android device use DNS settings from previously connected Wi-Fi network/
workaround.
You have to connect to the Wi-Fi network (any). Then you have to open Wi-Fi settings and change it to STATIC.
Inside STATIC settings you have to set up manual DNS 8.8.8.8.
then you have to connect to BT PAN
and type in Mobile Terminal
1 - su
2 - dhcpcd bt-pan

VPN access/useragentswitcher/ or a way to bypass isp packet sniffers.

Is there any way to connect to internet via VPN (PPTP, L2TP-IPSec, or OPENvpn). Is it possible to install the necessary system/binary stuff to be able to so through adb, ssh, or telnet. I am connected to the internet through my phones hotspot, my laptop is connected to VPN. And when I am not connected to VPN for any reason I can make the chrome useragent changer to appear as an ubuntu or linux machine running chrome. When the content being requested is local on laptop plex media server and requesting it through patched plex it can play just fine, and that is with the laptop connected to internet via VPN, when I try to play something on plex that is streaming it just hangs like it wants to play but doesn't load. when I attempt to play streaming media via AVIA I get sent to the 4gLTE ISP provider (tmobile) upsell page that appears when they sense that you have something connected via wifi hotspot tether. I think that when plex is hanging at the loading page that it is also getting the upsell page but it just doesn't show up on the screen. If it is possible to make the CC connect through VPN or change the user agent of the chromecast I should be able to bypass the upsell page that is saying I can't connect via wifi tethered devices. This makes me think that the dns servers I have set in eureka web panel may not actually be making their connection through the servers from openNIC that I set it to use. The chromecast can communicate with my laptop when it is connected to VPN simultaneously without a problem.
Is it possible to innstall the privateinternetaccess PIA VPN app on the chromecast and add it to the eurekarom whitelist? or any openvpn app will work so other people with different vpn providers can also connect with the correct configuration files in place. Or does anyone know how to make the chromecast go through VPN that is active on phone, like the way a router that is connected to VPN makes all of the clients connected to it go through the VPN without the need to sign in to the vpn on each device.
Here's how I did it !!!
I'm also tethering via T-Mobile & ran into the same problem as you !!! What I've done before the 15250 update was run an app named Network Spoofer downloaded from blackmart app // I turned hotspot on my phone & my Asus Tf700 was connected to the WiFi created by t mobile I used VPN unlimited & while its connected // I ran the Network spoofer app & I either use adblock *** or redirect traffic through phone - this being the most often used option !!! After selecting redirect // I selected default gateway // I then chose the IP address that my chromescast is using // the chromecast name under IP address sometimes doesn't show up // so you'll have to know what your chrome cast IP address is // you can find this by using the chrome cast app !!!
The network spoofer app, found on sourceforge doesn't function correctly on nexus 4, at least not for me.
I ran into the same problem. Plex Media Server would not work on T-mobile tethering. I tried Network Spoofer and used Redirect Traffic Through Phone and give it the ip address of the the laptop that hosts Plex Media Server, it didn't work. Even the browser on this laptop would bring up the T-mobile upsell page. It seems this feature would simply let everything pass through the phone.
Any other suggestion?
Here's my setup
An LG phone with T-mobile LTE attached to my router via USB tethering. The router then serves every device, wired and wireless, on my network. Roku and all PCs works fine if I change the User Agent of the browser. Only the Plex Media Server would cause T-mobile to bill the traffic against the limited 2.5G tethering, the rest got billed against the unlimited data plan.

Hi smartymcfly,
Thanks for the info. It seems step 3 above is to turn the laptop into a wifi hotspot. However, In my case the laptop is already visible throughout the whole network because it's attached to the router via an ethernet cable. The router gets its internet from the USB port attached to a smart phone and all devices attached to the router.
Based on your instruction (step 2) is to connect to a vpn. I will try to run Hotspot Shield on the laptop to see if that helps. My router is an Asus wl-520gu running DD-WRT so I think it has builtin VPN server, I will try that too.
By the way, did you get your Plex Server to work without T-mobile upsell? Thanks

This might not be directly related but here is a little something I learned....
I have PMS with a VPN. There are a few things you need to set up before you can get it to work. (Also works for vudu)
Basically, the VPN won't work because it needs access to a few IP addresses that it can communicate directly with the myplex servers but not through the VPN. I did tons of packet sniffing to figure these IP addresses out..
What happens is, if you are connected to the VPN, ALL outgoing traffic goes through the VPN and the Plex servers don't understand where that traffic came from and will block it. If your server is reported as being at one address and the traffic comes from another, that makes it look like something is spoofed.
If you have a firewall or VPN that can separate your traffic, I have the IP addresses for you.
The good thing is, the IP address ranges that you'll input, don't effect how your channels are retrieved; meaning that you can still get international channel content from channels like BBC iPlayer or CBC.
I had to use a very special feature on my firewall called ISP Redundancy and route traffic to certain IP ranges directly to the source. This also helped with Verizon FiOS throttling stuff like Netflix and Vudu.

Hi abuttino,
Thanks for the info. I'm ordering a new, more powerful router and should have it by tomorrow. I will be using DD-WRT firmware on this new router. DD-WRT should have builtin VPN and firewall. I've been reading on the firewall features, and it seems that it allows routing traffic both ways based on ip addresses. What I'm not sure about his whether or not the routing is running inline with the vpn or can be set to run parrallel so we can have some traiffcs encrypted and some are not.
So for the exception to the IP addresses that need unencrypted communications, do they require both ways (from internet to Plex and from Plex to internet) or just one way?
They need to run in both directions. I'll give you the IP ranges when you are ready, but be prepared to run wireshark to sniff out more IP addresses if myPlex doesn't connect

Hi abuttino,
I bought an Asus RT-N66U thinking I was able to use Android usb tethering (Asus said that it could) but I haven't been able to get it going. I must be able to use this router with usb tethering first before configuring VPN. Thank you. I will keep you posted.

Does the RT-N66U have a server and dlna function that can be used with Bubbleupnp?

Sorry for the untimely response...
in step 2, in your case you would need to connect your router to VPN
or
Connect computer to VPN, create hotspot and have your chromecast connect to newly created hotspot but this way would defeat the need to use the router. This the way I have it. There is also an app named klink that may allow you to connect phone to VPN and push all traffic through VPN but I do not know how well it works or if it will work with chromecast.

You may need to update the routers firmware. Or install one that will allow it.
http://support.asus.com/FAQ/Detail....DB9-CC0E-5F67-85F7D3FB48E4&m=RT-N66U+(VER.B1)
"B. Update the firmware to version 3.0.0.4.268 or later"
http://www.flashrouters.com/routers...router-tomatousb-router-privateinternetaccess
If you use privateinternetaccess for your VPN their is a Tomato firmware customized for it Tomato Version:*K26VRT-N
It lists the firmware.

T-Mobile Note 4 [CM12]: Cannot ping when tethering.

Hello, I'm new here on XDA, even though I've been browsing the forums ever since whenever.
Anyway, I have a T-Mobile Note 4 running CM12 and I also must say that I do have unlimited data.
The problem that's been bugging me is this: when I was tethering on stock ROM, I could not ping any host from any of my tethered clients. However, pinging used to work on CM12 (indicating of course that stock ROM has restrictions imposed) until two days ago. I know this because when I tether to my PS3/XBox One, I can access the Internet but cannot login to PSN (Playstation Network). I can only log on to it when ping is working.
I do have an HTTP user agent spoofer for HTTP traffic but this problem seems to be more related with routing on the Note 4 I guess. I have tried many tethering apps (with or without root) in hopes that they would fix this problem but I still cannot ping.
I have seen on the Internet people mentioning native tethering and I was wondering if you guys can recommend any tethering apps that can fix this. Also, I'm not really familiar with the linux iptables and the routing utility and have been trying all these scripts I found on here but they are not working.
So, correct me if what I'm asking for is already done (which would then mean T-Mobile is blocking my outbound traffic on their routers), but what I was thinking was to route the wlan0 traffic straight through rmnet_data0 without any tethering flagging or something like that. Again, I do have internet I just can't access other services like ping which is needed by some programs that I have for MTU path discovery etc.
FoxFi/PdaNet - Not working
Wi-Fi Tether Router - Not working
Other generic tethering apps on PlayStore - Not Working
Thanks in advance.
