Abstract
One example may include a process that includes establishing a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection between a client device and a server to form a virtual private network (VPN), permitting communication between the client device and the server on the TCP connection, monitoring, via the VPN server, communication over the TCP connection to identify one or more connection parameters, establishing a second connection between the client device and the server when the one or more connection parameters indicate a slowing of the TCP connection below a threshold and below a previously measured connection rate, receiving, via the TCP connection, application data used by one of the applications operating on the client device, and receiving, via the second connection, application data used by another application of the applications.
