You cannot pair an iPhone and an iPad using Bluetooth. To use the VPN on each device, you need to download it on each device independently.

How to pair my iphone to my macbook pro I am travelling overseas to China and have set up a vpn on my phone and macbook pro. I will need access to the internet so I was going to arrange a data plan with my mobile phone provider. I was then going to bluetooth my phone to my macbook. Is this possible as the iphone cannot find it when I try to pair? If not, any suggestions to accomplish this

Consult the Support Team at the VPN provider/service. Apple cannot support 3rd party apps and services. Sorry.
