Abstract
One example method of operation may include determining whether a data request initiated by a client device to obtain data from a remote server should be forwarded by a virtual private network (VPN) server or outside of the VPN server, forwarding, via the client device, a data fetch outside of the virtual private network (VPN) server in communication with the client device, to obtain the data from the remote server, and the remote server is identified on a list identifying servers requiring non-VPN communications, receiving the data from the remote server, via the client device, outside of the VPN server, forwarding, via the client device, a request for additional data to the VPN server, and receiving the additional data from the VPN server at the client device.
