I followed all the steps on the tutorial on ev3dev page, that can be found here: https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/tutorials/connecting-to-the-internet-via-bluetooth/.

I also met the same problem. How did you solve it?

Just encountered the problem and then solved it. Me on linux mint 20. What I have done: check if status is "online" when connecting to an Android device bluetooth pan => Yes. so it is pc problem. Then I go Advanced Network Configuration -> pan1 edit -> IPv4 Settings -> Change Method to Shared to other computers (this step very similar to the connecting internet via usb tutorial) -> then viola! It sudden works! (able to ping 8.8.8.8!). It will be better if this step is also included in the via bluetooth tutorial I think.
