  • Patent number: 8897299
    Abstract: A method for routing packets from a gateway to an endpoint includes the step of associating a private internet protocol (IP) address with an endpoint having a public IP address. A packet addressed to the private IP address of the endpoint is captured. A policy is applied to the packet. The packet is transmitted to the public IP address of the endpoint, responsive to the application of the policy to the packet.

  • Patent number: 8892778
    Abstract: A method for securing remote access to private networks includes a receiver intercepting from a data link layer a packet in a first plurality of packets destined for a first system on a private network. A filter intercepts from the data link layer a packet in a second plurality of packets transmitted from a second system on the private network, destined for an system on a second network.

  • Patent number: 7978714
    Abstract: A method for routing packets from a peripheral device to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway includes the step of implementing, by a peripheral device, a change to a routing table. The peripheral device receives an outbound packet. The peripheral device transmits information about the outbound packet to a VPN client application. The peripheral device modifies address information on the outbound packet with address information associated with the VPN client application. The peripheral device transmits the modified outbound packet to the VPN client application.

  • Patent number: 7657657
    Abstract: A system for providing failover redundancy in a remote access solution includes at least one application resource on a back-end server, and multiple gateway servers. One of the gateway servers is a primary gateway server while the others are failover gateway servers. Each gateway servers hosts a session with at least one executing application instance for the same application, each session on the failover gateway servers maintained in the same state as that on the primary gateway server. The primary gateway server is the only gateway servers allowed to communicate with the application resource(s). The system further includes a client device in communication over a VPN with the primary gateway server, receiving output of the application instance executing on the primary gateway server and displaying the received output on a viewer of the client device. The client device also sends input to the primary gateway server.

  • Publication number: 20100002693
    Abstract: A method for routing packets from an endpoint to a gateway includes receiving, by a driver of a process for providing secure communications to a gateway from an endpoint, a filtering table. The driver may intercept an outbound packet, the driver terminating a first transport layer connection with an application of the endpoint. The driver may transmit the outbound packet to a client application, responsive to the filtering table. The client application provides a second transport layer connection from the endpoint to the gateway. Responsive to an application of a policy to the outbound packet, the client application may transmit the outbound packet to the gateway.
