  • Patent number: 11870674
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to implement a virtual private network with probe for network connectivity are disclosed. An example non-transitory computer readable storage medium is disclosed comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least, in response to a first instruction from an operating system to establish a network tunnel, transmit a probe request to a server; and in response to not receiving, from the server, a probe response to the probe request, report that the network tunnel has been established to prevent the operating system from transmitting subsequent instructions to establish the network connection until a response to a probe request is received.
