According to some aspects described herein, a system may determine whether a network actor appears to be using an intermediary such as a vpn and/or proxy server. This may be accomplished by directing the network actor to request and/or access a network-segment identification resource which may, in some embodiments, be stored in another region of the global network. ...

A system can include a host device that execute a virtual machine execution environment. A hypervisor network profile can be associated with the hypervisor of the virtual machine execution environment. The hypervisor network profile can include virtual private network (vpn) configuration profiles that can instruct the hypervisor to route network traffic from a virtual machine to a vpn tunnel server ...

Techniques for executing multiple virtual private network (vpn) endpoints associated with an endpoint pool address are disclosed. A vpn endpoint manager determines traffic attributes of traffic addressed to the endpoint pool address. The vpn endpoint manager selects a quantity of vpn endpoints to be executed for processing the traffic based on the traffic attributes. The vpn endpoint manager causes execution ...

A system for securely provided content to a user hides the identity of the user and/or the content from an outside observer by utilizing a plurality of virtual private networks (vpns) and virtual machines (vms) to obfuscate transmission sources. A key is used to generate and control access to a first vpn between a user device and a server ...

An automated method of establishing a virtual private network (vpn) includes: sending, from a secure gateway, a request to a remote server; receiving a response to the request from the server; providing, at the gateway, a graphic code comprising a set of vpn attributes; and providing, at the gateway, access to the vpn. An automated method of establishing a vpn ...

Conventionally, network-accessible devices (e. G., cellular phones, tablets, personal computers) have been able to establish virtual point-to-point connections between a local modem and a virtual private network (vpn) across a public network, such as the internet. However, providers often capitalize on this “open” connection and retrieve information regarding a user's browsing history. Moreover, some public network ...

A wireless virtual private network (vpn) connection may be automatically instantiated from a wireless vpn client device using a vpn instantiation server. The vpn client device may automatically connect to the vpn instantiation server to obtain client configuration information for a vpn connection to a vpn endpoint server. The vpn instantiation server may instantiate the vpn endpoint server using a ...

A method for applying network services to data traffic forwarded between virtual private network (vpn) sites includes: receiving a data packet addressed to a target site associated with the vpn, determining services to be applied to the data packet according to a service chain, where the determining is a function of at least one of the vpn, the origin site ...

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer-readable storage medium for extending a private cloud to a public cloud. The private cloud can be extended to the public cloud by establishing a virtual private network between a private cloud and a public cloud, receiving one or more access control lists provisioned by the private cloud, determining contracts between an end point group ...

A provider edge (pe) device may receive an indication to perform a designated forwarder (df) election associated with a network segment that includes the pe device, one or more other pe devices, and a client edge (ce) device. The pe device, the one or more other pe devices, and the ce device may be associated with an ethernet virtual private ...

A source node can append a unique identifier to an outbound client packet, transmit the outbound client packet to a recipient node via a port, and create a transmission record including: the unique identifier, a time stamp of the outbound client packet, and an identifier for the port. The source node can receive an inbound client packet that is appended ...

In one embodiment, a hub logic is to provision a plurality of group private keys for a dynamic multipoint virtual private network (dmvpn) group associated with a function of a plurality of devices, provide a group public key for the dmvpn group to the plurality of devices and provision each of the plurality of group private keys to one of ...

A wireless mobile communication device can receive one or more network parameters from a network gateway and identify a network associated with the network parameters based on stored network information of networks with which the device is configured to join and/or network gateways with which the device is configured to communicate. The device can identify private network information associated ...

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes configuring on a network element a first tunnel from the network element to a first network, wherein the configuring comprises mapping a nexthop address of the local network element to a transport address of the tunnel on the network to create a first nexthop-to-transport mapping for the network element; and ...

In an example, a network device may receive a l3vpn packet of which an egress label edge router (ler) is the network device, and acquire an adjacency index of an adjacency entry in an adjacency table according to the destination ip address of the inner ip datagram from the l3vpn packet. The network device may acquire a pw ...

A method, client device and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for connecting to a virtual private network (vpn). A request to connect to a destination identified by a hostname is received from an application executed on the client device and a domain name system (dns) lookup functionality is performed on the hostname, the dns lookup functionality returning an address. It ...
