A method including determining aggregate amounts of VPN data communicated by VPN servers with a host device during sample durations of time within a reference period; determining difference amounts indicating differences in the aggregate amounts of VPN data communicated by VPN servers with the host device during successive sample durations of time; determining average aggregate amounts of VPN data communicated by VPN servers with the host device based at least in part on averaging the difference amounts; determining a largest average aggregate amount, from among the average aggregate amounts, as an average threshold level; and selectively adjusting an amount of VPN data communicated by VPN servers with the host device based at least in part on a result of comparing the average threshold level with an observed average aggregate amount of VPN data communicated by VPN servers with the host device. Various other aspects are contemplated.
