Abstract
A connection request is received from a client to establish a first connection associated with a second connection of a virtual private network for selective network communications of a first group of one or more applications of the client. Network communications of a second group of one or more applications different from the first group of one or more applications of the client are to be routed outside the virtual private network. The second connection of the virtual private network is established between a proxy and a virtual private network server. The first connection is established between the proxy and the client. A network packet received from the client via the first connection is routed to the virtual private network server via the second connection of the virtual private network.
