Abstract: The present application describes, in an embodiment, a system which includes a non-transitory memory including executable instructions for obfuscating traffic. The system also includes a processor operably coupled to the non-transitory memory configured to execute a set of instructions. The set of instructions may include receiving, at a gateway, traffic from plural clients on a home network. The set of instructions may also include identifying a protocol type of the received traffic. The set of instructions may also include parsing the received traffic based on the protocol type. The set of instructions may also include creating an encrypted pathway to support flow of the received traffic associated with the protocol type to a destination. The set of instructions may also include transmitting, via the created encrypted pathway, the traffic associated with the protocol type to a destination.

Abstract: The present application describes, in an embodiment, a method including one or more steps. One step of the method may include receiving, at a gateway including an encrypted pathway, traffic from a third party originating outside a multi-hop network intended for a client inside the network. Another step of the method may include determining, using a trained machine learning model, a probe of the received traffic attempting to obtain confidential information about the multi-hop network. Yet another step of the method may include flagging the third party based on determined probe.
