Abstract
One example may include receiving data, via a client device, from a virtual private network (VPN) server over a first connection of a first network, sending a request sent outside the VPN server, via the client device, to access a second network detected by the client device while the client device is communicating with the VPN server over the first network, responsive to receiving a captive portal from the second network, forwarding, via the client device, authentication information over a second connection to the second network, and receiving additional data, by the client device, from the VPN server over the first connection provided by the first network and a second connection provided by the second network after the authentication information is approved.
