Patent attributes
A method and apparatus is shown for provision of a secure connection via a public network. In a particular implementation, a communication session may be established between an apparatus and a client device to enable the client device to receive access to one or more portions of a public network via one or more communication links. In response to receipt of a request message received from the client device, access may be established to the one or more portions of the public network using one or more identifiers from the client device to emulate the client device on the one or more portions of the public network. In response to detection of the established access to the one or more portions of the public network, an encrypted virtual private network (VPN) communication session may be established to one or more remote devices via the one or more portions of the public network.
