Abstract

See full text

A system, apparatus, and method are directed to network communication over a tunnel by downloading selective tunneling (STM) components into memory of a client device. The STM components selectively employ tunneling to route network traffic to a requested resource. The STM components may include a network API, application, and a tunnel manager that have been modified based in part on a client configuration. As a network request is made it is evaluated against the client configuration. If the connection is to be tunneled, a network tunnel is selectively established. If the client configuration and/or the request indicate that the request is to be un-tunneled, an un-tunneled network connection may instead be established. The client configuration may also indicate that the client device is to be redirected to enable remediation. When the application component is closed, or otherwise terminated, the client's memory may be purged of the loaded STM components.
