Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment, a method of managing, without human intervention, at least one private network is disclosed. For example, managing the at least one private network includes connecting the at least one private network to the Internet. Furthermore, the at least one private network communicates selected signal packets from at least one network device in one of at least two separate logical broadcast domains transmitted to at least one network device in another of at least two separate logical broadcast domains as if the logical broadcast domains are not separate. The selected signal packets are transmitted between the network devices of the at least two separate logical broadcast domains via a tunnel server.
