Abstract: According to an example, a method for virtual private network (VPN) access control includes receiving a request from an application on a user device to access a remote computer network asset, and determining, by a processor, an authorization of the application to access the remote computer network asset based on a policy. In response to a determination that the application is authorized to access the remote computer network asset, the method includes setting a VPN connection between the user device and a remote computer network including the remote computer network asset, and routing traffic from the application to the remote computer network asset via the VPN. In response to a determination that the application is not authorized to access the remote computer network asset, the method includes routing traffic from the application to a network different than the remote computer network.

Abstract: Examples of authorizing application access to a virtual private network are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include connecting, by a computing system, electronically to a virtual private network (VPN) by sending authentication credentials, and receiving, by the computing system, a set of application policies from an application policy database in the VPN. The method may further include determining, by the computing system, whether an application running on the computing system is authorized to access resources within the VPN based on the set of application policies received from the application policy database. Additionally, the method may include enabling, by the computing system, the application to access the resources within the VPN when it is determined that the set of application policies authorizes the application to access the resources within the VPN.
