Abstract
A machine has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to allow a user to designate a selected persona from a pool of potential personas, where each potential persona is associated with the user and has a distinct set of computer network attributes. A virtual private network egress point for the selected persona is designated, where the virtual private network egress point masks computer network attributes of the selected persona. Contact with the virtual private network egress point is coordinated to initiate a network communication for the selected persona.
