1. A network system for allowing a user control over user'"'"'s assets in a third-party computing environment, said third party having control over most of said third-party computing environment, the system comprising a microprocessor, an input device, a memory, and a control module program, said control module program residing in said memory and said microprocessor being configured to execute said control module program, wherein said network system comprises:

  • a third-party computing environment, said third party computing environment being made up of a physical and virtual infrastructure, said third-party computing environment further defined by at least one third-party computing environment parameter, said third-party having control over most or all of said physical infrastructure, said virtual infrastructure and said at least one third-party computing environment parameter;

    a first virtual private network, said first virtual private network configured to connect at least two assets of said user, said first virtual private network designed to overlay the third-party computing environment;

    a control module, said control module containing said control module program, said control module program capable of allowing for the creation of said first virtual private network;

    said control module program capable of allowing said user to set at least one virtual private network parameter, said at least one virtual private network parameter defining a behavior of said first virtual private network;

    such that said first virtual private network is not dependent on said at least one parameter set by said third-party computing environment, and said user has control over said user'"'"'s assets based on said behavior of said first virtual private network.
