  • Edge server selection for enhanced services network
    Patent number: 9923897
    Abstract: An enhanced services network provides enhanced privacy and/or security over public networks to client subscribers of the service. Client devices access the enhanced services network over a public communications network (e.g., the Internet, cellular network, etc.) via a client-side edge server of the enhanced services network. The enhanced services network interfaces with client-requested network resources hosted by third-party server devices via a resource-side edge server. The particular client-side edge server and/or resource-side edge server that is utilized for a particular client session may be selected by the enhanced services network according to a rule set. The rule set may seek to achieve one or more target goals, such as: (1) limit discoverability of the enhanced services network, (2) minimize or reduce geographic/network distance between an edge server and a target computing device, and/or (3) establish connections that are more secure than the connections originally requested by the client.
