Abstract
Data networking may include forwarding, via a client device, data across a first communication network to a virtual private network (VPN) server, wherein the data is destined for a remote server, forwarding a request sent outside the VPN server, via the client device, to access a second communication network detected by the client device, receiving, via the client device, a captive portal requiring authentication information, forwarding, via the client device, the authentication information to an authentication server to obtain access to the second communication network, wherein the authentication information is not forwarded to the VPN server, and forwarding and receiving additional data, via the client device, to the VPN server concurrently across the first communication network and the second communication network.
