Abstract: Some embodiments provide Internet access to a local client device, such as a host computer or mobile device, via a configurable misattribution network. A user of the local client device can quickly and easily declare, via a simple user interface, their desired ephemeral node topology and within a small time window, seamlessly access the Internet via a bounce/egress tunnel. In some embodiments, the misattribution network is ephemeral. A tunnel or point-of-presence (PoP) can last as short or as long as desired by the user. When a PoP is no longer needed, the user can destroy the tunnel. In some such embodiments, deleting the tunnel includes deleting key material, de-spawning compute instances, and releasing IP address(s) back to the provider that owns them so that the IP addresses can be used by other users.
