Abstract
In an example, a method may include a configuration file being provided to a first device from a network server. The configuration file may be provided after establishment of a first wireless connection over a wireless network between the first device and the network server. The configuration file may direct the first device to establish a virtual bridge and the network server may be configured to map a first tunnel and/or a second tunnel to the virtual bridge. The configuration file may further direct the first device to establish the first tunnel between the virtual bridge and the network server. The configuration file may also direct the first device to establish the second tunnel within the first tunnel. The second tunnel may be established. The method may also include facilitating communications between the first device and a second device via the virtual bridge using the second tunnel.
