1. A method for virtual private network (VPN) access control, the method comprising:

  • receiving a request from an application on a user device to access a remote computer network asset;

    determining, by a processor on the user device, an authorization of the application to access the remote computer network asset based on a policy;

    in response to a determination, on the user device, that the application is authorized to access the remote computer network asset;

    setting a VPN connection between the user device and a remote computer network including the remote computer network asset, and routing traffic from the application to the remote computer network asset via the VPN; and

    in response to a determination, on the user device, that the application is not authorized to access the remote computer network asset, routing traffic from the requesting application directly to a destination server different than the remote computer network asset via a network different than the remote computer network for execution of the application by the destination server, allowing the requesting application to perform functions without breaching the remote computer network.
