Systems and methods for providing access to a remote network via an external endpoint are provided. A client establishes a secure connection between an external endpoint and a remote network. Transmissions from clients to the external endpoint are supplemented with additional information regarding handling within the remote network, and then transmitted to an internal endpoint within the remote network. The internal endpoint processes the transmission based on the supplemental information and returns a response to the external endpoint. A response is then returned to the client. Access policies may be created by authorized users to establish processing of client transmissions. These policies may be stored and enforced by the internal endpoint or the external endpoint.
