Patent number: 12034703Abstract: Some embodiments described herein relate managing communications between an origin and a destination using end-user and/or administrator configurable virtual private network(s) (VPN(s)). A first VPN that defines a first data path between an origin and a destination can be defined at a first time. A second VPN that defines a second, different data path between the origin and the destination can defined at a second time. Each packet sent across the first VPN and each packet sent across the second VPN can follow the same data path for that VPN, such each packet can be sent across the first VPN or the second VPN in the order it was received, and the transition between the first VPN and the second VPN can be “seamless,” and communications between the origin and the destination are not disrupted between the first time period and the second time period.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2023Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Conceal, Inc.Inventor: Ira A.
