Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a global virtual network connection between an endpoint device and an access point server are disclosed. In one embodiment the network system may include an endpoint device, an access point server, and a control server. The endpoint device and the access point server may be connected with a first tunnel. The access point server and the control server may be connected with a second tunnel.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computer processors, a request for a list of available servers from a network device;
- retrieving, by the one or more computer processors, the list of available servers;
- retrieving, by the one or more computer processors, one or more records associated with the network device;
- dynamically ordering, by the one or more computer processors, the list of available servers based on the one or more records associated with the network device;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more computer processors, the ordered list of available servers to the network device.
A system comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to execute the instructions, the instructions when executed causing the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for a list of available servers from a network device;
- retrieving the list of available servers;
- retrieving one or more records associated with the network device;
- dynamically ordering the list of available servers based on the one or more records associated with the network device;
- and
- transmitting the ordered list of available servers to the network device.
A network system for managing a global virtual network, comprising:
- an access point server configured to connect to one or more endpoint devices via one or more first tunnels;
- and
- a control server connected to the access point server via a second tunnel, the control server storing one or more records associated with each of the one or more endpoint devices, wherein the control server is configured to:
- receive a request for a list of available servers from a first endpoint device among the one or more endpoint devices, the list of available servers including the access point server;
- retrieve the list of available servers;
- retrieve the one or more records associated with the first endpoint device;
- dynamically order the list of available servers for the first endpoint device based on the one or more records associated with the network device;
- and
- transmit the ordered list of available servers to the first endpoint device.
