Dynamic system and method for virtual private network (VPN) application level content routing using dual-proxy method
First Claim
1. A method of application level content routing using a Dynamic VPN (DVPN) dual-proxy mechanism comprising:
- providing at least one client on a first virtual private network node a list of available resources hosted on a second virtual private network node;
initiating a request by the at least one client for at least one resource from the list of available resources hosted on the second virtual private network node as though the at least one resource is local to the at least one client without exposing an actual IP addresses of the list of available resources on the second virtual private network node;
routing the request to the at least one resource through a secure connection between the first virtual private network node and the second virtual private network node;
responding to the request by the at least one resource on the second virtual private network node as though the request is initiated locally on the second virtual private network node without exposing an actual IP address of the at least one client on the first virtual private network node; and
routing the response from the second virtual private network node back to the at least one client on the first virtual private network node through the secure connection.

Abstract
A method of application level content routing using a (Dynamic VPN) dual-proxy mechanism that provides a client access to resources on a remote network without exposing each other'"'"'s actual IP addresses and network topologies. The method includes providing a client a list of available resources on a remote network; initiating a request by the client for at least one resource from the list of available resources hosted on the remote network as though the at least one resource is local to the client; routing the request to the at least remote resource through a secure connection between the client and the remote network; responding to the request by the at least remote resource as though the request is initiated locally on the remote network; and routing the response from the remote network back to the client through the secure connection.
