  • Zero-trust network access with user datagram protocol message forwarding
    Patent number: 12676772
    Abstract: Zero-trust network access (ZTNA) with user datagram protocol (UDP) message forwarding is disclosed. A forwarding rule is determined based on a destination address associated with a received data traffic packet formatted according to a first protocol (e.g., UDP). A bi-directional tunnel is created to forward the traffic based on the determined forwarding rule. A request is generated over a stream having a corresponding stream identifier within the bi-directional tunnel to establish a connection with a proxy device. The traffic packet payload formatted according to the first protocol is wrapped with at least the stream identifier. The wrapped data traffic packet is forwarded to a client device based on the determined forwarding rule to a destination device corresponding to the stream identifier.
