Abstract: A method for receiving, at a VPN server, a first data request for the VPN server to retrieve first data of interest from a first host device; utilizing, by the VPN server, a first exit IP address to transmit a first query for retrieving the first data of interest; determining, by the VPN server based on transmitting the first query, that the first exit IP address is blocked by the first host device; suspending, by the VPN server based on determining that the first exit IP address is blocked by the first host device, utilization of the first exit IP address for retrieving the first data of interest from the first host device; and utilizing, by the VPN server, the first exit IP address to transmit a second query for retrieving second data of interest from a second host device is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method including establishing, by a user device, a first parallel VPN connection with a first VPN server and a second parallel VPN connection with a second VPN server; transmitting, by the user device, a request for a VPN service to the first VPN server over the first parallel VPN connection and to the second VPN server over the second parallel VPN connection; determining, by the user device based on transmitting the request, the first VPN server as an optimal VPN server when the first VPN server provides the VPN service before the second VPN server, or the second VPN server as the optimal VPN server when the second VPN server provides the VPN service before the second VPN server; and transmitting, by the user device based on selecting the optimal VPN server, requests for VPN services to the optimal VPN server is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method including establishing, by a user device, respective parallel virtual private network (VPN) connections with respective VPN servers; determining, by the user device based at least in part on establishing the respective parallel VPN connections, a default VPN server from among the respective VPN servers; and selecting, by the user device based at least in part on determining the default VPN server, the default VPN server as a VPN server from which the user device is to receive a VPN service; and transmitting, by the user device based at least in part on selecting the default VPN server; a request to the default VPN server to receive the VPN service is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method including receiving, at a VPN server from a user device during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and the user device, a data request for the VPN server to retrieve data of interest from a host device; utilizing, by the VPN server, a first exit IP address to transmit a query for retrieving the data of interest to the host device during the established VPN connection; determining, by the VPN server based at least in part on transmitting the query, that the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device; and utilizing, by the VPN server, a second exit IP address to retransmit the query for retrieving the data of interest to the host device during the established VPN connection is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method including configuring a VPN server to receive, from a user device during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and the user device, a data request for the VPN server to retrieve data of interest from a host device; configuring the VPN server to utilize a first exit internet protocol (IP) address to transmit a query for retrieving the data of interest to the host device during the established VPN connection; configuring the VPN server to determine, based on transmitting the query, that the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device; and configuring the VPN server to utilize, based on determining that the first exit IP address is blocked, a second exit IP address to retransmit the query for retrieving the data of interest to the host device during the established VPN connection is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

Abstract: A method including configuring a VPN server to receive, from a user device during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and the user device, a data request for the VPN server to retrieve data of interest from a host device; configuring the VPN server to transmit, to the host device during the established VPN connection, a query to retrieve the data of interest based at least in part on utilizing a first exit IP address; and configuring the VPN server to retransmit, to the host device during the established VPN connection, the query to retrieve the data of interest based at least in part on utilizing a second exit IP address when the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.
