Abstract
Techniques are described for providing users with access to computer networks, such as to enable users to create computer networks that are provided by a remote configurable network service for use by the users. Such provided computer networks may be configured to be private computer networks accessible only by the users who create them, and may each be created and configured by a client of the configurable network service to be an extension to an existing computer network of the client, such as a private computer network extension to an existing private computer network of the client. In addition, access to remote resource services may be configured and provided from such computer networks in various manners, such as to include a local access mechanism as part of a provided computer network that is configured to forward communications sent to the access mechanism to a particular remote resource service.
