Intelligent, cloud-based global virtual private network systems and methods |
摘要 |
A method includes connecting to a client at a Virtual Private Network (VPN) device in a cloud system; forwarding requests from the client for the Internet or public clouds accordingly; and, for requests for an enterprise associated with the client, contacting a topology controller to fetch a topology of the enterprise, causing a tunnel to be established from the enterprise to the VPN device, and forwarding the requests for the enterprise through the tunnel. A cloud system and VPN system are also described. Advantageously, connections between the cloud and on-premises proxy are dynamic, on-demand and orchestrated by the cloud. Security is provided at the edge—there is no need to punch any holes in the existing on-premises firewalls. |

1. A method, comprising:
connecting to a client at a Virtual Private Network (VPN) device in a cloud-based system; forwarding requests from the client for the Internet or public clouds accordingly; for requests for an enterprise associated with the client, contacting a topology controller to fetch a topology of the enterprise, causing a tunnel to be established from the enterprise to the VPN device, and forwarding the requests for the enterprise through the tunnel to the cloud-based system for proactive monitoring; and providing a secure connection from the cloud-based system back to the enterprise, including internal domain and subnets associated with the enterprise. |
