Abstract
One example method of operation may include receiving a data request from a client device to retrieve data from one or more servers, identifying from the data request one or more of a domain name and an IP address associated with the one or more servers, determining whether the data will be routed through a VPN server or through a non-VPN route among the one or more servers based on a comparison of one or more of the domain name and the IP address with one or more lists stored in a VPN client application memory associated with the VPN server, and routing the data through the VPN server or outside the VPN server based on results of the comparison.
