Abstract: A method and system for a VPN setup in which one of the peers' outgoing traffic is dynamically rerouted to exit VPN servers based on infrastructure or user requirements without losing the initial connection state or leaking unencrypted network traffic is described. One exemplary embodiment describes a method for a client to change their routing to multiple server locations. Another exemplary embodiment describes a method for the entry VPN servers to reroute traffic based on strategic traffic analysis.

Abstract: A method in a first virtual private network (VPN) server associated with clustering a plurality of VPN servers in a clustered network, the method including receiving, from a VPN service provider (VSP) control infrastructure, VPN data associated with a user device having an established VPN connection with the clustered network; and communicating, utilizing key information, the VPN data with the user device during the established VPN connection. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method for configuring a protocol in a virtual private network (VPN) service environment, the method including receiving, from a user device, device information associated with operation of the user device during an established VPN connection; configuring, based at least in part on the device information, a given VPN protocol from among a plurality of VPN protocols for utilization during the established VPN connection; and transmitting, to the user device, information associated with the given VPN protocol to enable the user device and a VPN server to utilize the given VPN protocol during the established VPN connection. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method in a virtual private network (VPN) service environment, the method including measuring, during a given interval of time, respective durations of time associated with performing a plurality of processes for configuring VPN connections; calculating average respective durations of time based at least in part on the measured respective durations of time; configuring a progress indicator to indicate a total duration of time associated with configuring a VPN connection for a user device, the total duration of time being substantially equal to a sum of the average respective durations of time; and transmitting, to the user device, information associated with the progress indicator to enable display of the progress indicator on a screen associated with the user device. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method for optimized server picking in a virtual private network (VPN), the method comprising enabling reception of service information via a local input interface, the service information indicating one or more VPN services to be received during an established VPN connection; and enabling transmission of the service information in association with transmission of a connection request to a VPN service provider. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method for optimized server picking in a virtual private network (VPN) environment, the method receiving, from a user device, a preference of the user device with respect to a VPN server for establishing a VPN connection; receiving user device information associated with the user device; determining, based at least in part on the preference and the user device information, a subset of a plurality of VPN servers; and determining, from the subset of a plurality of VPN servers, a VPN server as an optimal VPN server for establishing the VPN connection. Various other aspects are contemplated.
