  • Publication number: 20230009887
    Abstract: Data associated with a structure or home may be received from an insurance provider, from publicly available sources and/or from a user. The data may include information about the structure and/or items within the structure, as well as a locality in which the structure is located, and/or other structures in the locality or neighborhood.

  • Publication number: 20220029966
    Abstract: Connecting to an unsecured wired or wireless network poses severe security and privacy risks. An individual application such as a mobile online banking application address this by using point to point private network connections. Browsers, however, generally do not use point to point private network connections and depend on the target website to establish a secure connection. Providing a secure connection that is the default for all network access and that encrypts all over the air or over the wire traffic mitigates these risks. However, virtual client networks (VPNs) client applications can be difficult to set up and need to be always on to ensure that all network activity is secure. By embedding a VPN capability and automating the connection process, a safe and secure network connection can be made available to users of computing devices.
