Abstract

The invention includes a system for transmitting multi-wrapped VPN enabled-data across a communication network from a device to another destination device within a remote protected network. The device comprises a software stack, hardware layer, application-layer VPN software, link-layer VPN software, and user-based application software. Next, the device is coupled to a communication network. Next, the system includes a link-layer VPN aggregator and an application-layer VPN aggregator. Finally, the system includes a protected network that includes the destination device. The invention includes embodiments for configuring a device to transmit multi-wrapped VPN enabled-data and processes for transmitting multi-wrapped VPN enabled-data across a communication network from a device to another destination device within a remote protected network. Finally, the invention includes inverse processes so the destination device can transmit data back through the communication network and to the device.
