  • Patent number: 9225721
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing secure access to resources of a private network. For example, a client device may transmit a request identifying the protected resource to an authentication server. The authentication server queries a network address lookup table to identify a network address of the protected resource based on the identifying information of the request. If the network address denotes a network location that is not generally accessible, the authentication server generates a resource record that identifies a bastion host, a port, and a connection method for accessing the protected resource. The resource record and the network address may then be transmitted to the client device. In response, the client device may use the information in the resource record to establish a tunnel connection with the bastion host, and the client device uses the tunnel connection to access the protected resource via the bastion host.
