Patent 11057340 was granted and assigned to VMware on July, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Disclosed are various embodiments for providing split-tunneled network connectivity on a per-application basis. A request to make a universal datagram protocol (UDP) connection to a remote host specified by an internet protocol (IP) address in the request is received from a network driver. A hostname lookup table is queried to determine a hostname associated with the IP address for the remote host. A policy is identified based on the hostname associated with the IP address for the remote host. Then, the UDP connection is routed based on the policy.
