  • Dynamic split tunneling
    Patent number: 10931561
    Abstract: A computing device dynamically excludes/includes traffic from/in a secure tunnel based on the domain name of the destination of the traffic. The computing device establishes a secure tunnel from the computing device, and receives a request to access a remote resource at a domain name. The computing device resolves the domain name at a domain name server and receives a resolved network address associated with the domain name. The computing device determines whether to send the request inside the secure tunnel or outside the secure tunnel by comparing the domain name to a split tunneling policy. Based on the comparison with the split tunneling policy, the computing device sends the request to the resolved network address either outside the secure tunnel or inside the secure tunnel.
