Alex Gizis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10652202
    Abstract: A Network Address Translating (“NAT”) Router, particularly designed for mobile use, and for managing one or more local area networks, having private internet protocol (“IP”) address ranges, along with multiple “upstream” networks, and for efficiently routing communications traffic to and from the upstream networks, is disclosed. The inventive router allocates multiple network connections of varying quality, to automatically optimize the effective connection speed in a mobile client network with optional personal “hotspot” sub-networks. The inventive NAT router is also capable of managing IP address allocation on local networks to substantially avoid conflicts with other networks encountered in normal use.

  • Patent number: 10484335
    Abstract: Systems and methods to provide improved secure, high speed networking between two or more computers is disclosed. The invention provides a robust and flexible means to readily establish a secure connection between two or more computers using insecure public or private network connections, while eliminating most of the difficulties and issues a user typically experiences with varying virtual private networks (“VPN”) and firewall configurations. The inventive system can be adapted to route traffic across multiple network connections based on a variety of criteria, including without limitation, the importance of any given data, the cost of each means of connection, and/or the performance of each possible means of connecting to the client system.
