Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1185

Is it possible to connect two computers via bluetooth connection?

For example, I have two computers connected to same WIFI, but one of them is connected to a VPN network. In this case, barrier won't work. But if barrier can also connect the two computers via bluetooth, it won't be a problem.
This idea seems possible as in a similar software: http://www.acrosscenter.com/

You can setup networking via bluetooth on a lot of devices.

The bluetooth 'PAN' connection shows up as ethernet devices in the windows network devices.
Set them with ip addresses from a different subnet to the main nic and configure barrier to use those addresses.
