    Why not use ad-hoc WiFi? It's considerably simpler, and requires less finicky setup. – nanofarad Feb 13 '13 at 20:34

  • Some people prefer Bluetooth to Wifi. I still find this useful as of 2023. – Yan King Yin Dec 12 '23 at 15:39

I am not sure if there is any good way using native bluetooth app that ships with ubuntu but I am going to use a pretty old app called blueman.

install it using 

sudo apt-get install blueman

Now from untity search for blueman and you will get bluetooth manager click on that and you will get window and blueman service will be enabled.

now you can see two bluetooth icons on top panel of unity. one will be native and other will be blueman's

click on blueman's icon and click local services.

selecting local services

Now from the window click network. and enable Network Access point, click apply and save it.

enabling network

Now you can access internet using bluetooth of your computer after pairing them and connecting.
