Abstract
A method and system for providing secured access to a server connected to a private computer network protected by a router acting as a firewall is provided. The method includes establishing a bypass communication route around the firewall router, exchanging information between a client and the server via the bypass communication route, and closing the bypass communication route. The system includes an external machine, an external communication channel, an internal machine, an internal communication channel, and a dedicated private communication channel. Each of these components in combination form a bypass communication route around the firewall router.
