Abstract: A technique is disclosed that provides a secure end-to-end connection between a mobile station in a public network and a resource server in a private network. First, a virtual private network (VPN) connection is established by the resource server within the private network, to a VPN/socket secure (SOCKS) proxy in the public network. Subsequently, the SOCKS proxy receives an access request from the mobile station and, in response, sets up a Hypertext Transport Protocol Secure (HTTPS) connection between the resource server and mobile station. Then, a reverse proxy service operating at the resource server retrieves data packets from a resource device, such as a webcam, and encrypts and pushes the packets to the mobile station.
