Abstract

Various embodiments pertain to computing devices and virtual machines. In particular, various embodiments relate to the start-up, operation, and communication of virtual machines. A method includes initiating operation of a virtual machine on a computing device, and sending a token from the computing device to a virtual machine, where the token is used to connect the computing device and the virtual machine. The method also includes establishing a virtual private network between the virtual machine and a network node using the token, and launching a user interface of the virtual machine on the computing device after the virtual private network has been established.
