Abstract:

A system and method for initiating a VPN connection for the purposes of establishing an indirect connection to a network resource through the VPN includes an initiation device, an end target, and a VPN server. The process through which a VPN connection is initiated in order to establish a connection to a network destination through the VPN begins with the initiation device being directed to or otherwise attempting the access a target network destination. This connection attempt is then held, either because the destination is blocked or because it defines a secure address that requires a secure connection. Then, the initiation device contacts a VPN server and establishes a connection to the VPN server's network. Once connected to the VPN server's network, the initiation device allows the connection to be made to the target network destination through the initiation device's connection the VPN server's network.
