Abstract
A system and computer-implemented method for cloud-based anonymous traffic routing is disclosed. The method may include receiving, from a client application by a router, network traffic identified for a destination. The method may include determining, for a set of internal cloud nodes distinct from both the client application and the destination, a set of internet protocol (IP) addresses including a first IP address for a first internal cloud node of the set of internal cloud nodes. The method may also include establishing an anonymity algorithm for cloud-based anonymous traffic routing, the anonymity algorithm configured to use the set of IP addresses. The method may also include routing, based on the anonymity algorithm, the network traffic to the first internal cloud node using the first IP address. The method may also include routing the network traffic from the set of internal cloud nodes to the destination identified by the client application.
