Abstract
A method for routing packets from a peripheral device to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway includes the step of implementing, by a peripheral device, a change to a routing table. The peripheral device receives an outbound packet. The peripheral device transmits information about the outbound packet to a VPN client application. The peripheral device modifies address information on the outbound packet with address information associated with the VPN client application. The peripheral device transmits the modified outbound packet to the VPN client application.
