Abstract
Systems and methods for connecting devices via a virtual global network are disclosed. In one embodiment the network system may comprise a first device in communication with a first endpoint device and a second device in communication with a second endpoint device. The first and second devices may be connected with a communication path. The communication path may comprise one or more intermediate tunnels connecting each endpoint device to one or more intermediate access point servers and one or more control servers.
Claims10
A network system for connecting devices via a global virtual network, comprising:
- a first endpoint device in communication with a first device;
- and
- a second endpoint device in communication with a second device, wherein a communication path connects the first and second end point devices, the communication path further comprising one or more intermediate tunnels connecting each endpoint device to one or more intermediate access point servers and one or more control servers, and wherein at least one of the first or second endpoint device is configured to establish the communication path by:
- identifying a plurality of candidate communication paths between the first endpoint device and the second endpoint device;
- determining a plurality of security ratings corresponding to the plurality of candidate communication paths, wherein the plurality of security ratings indicate a level of security risk for each of the plurality of candidate communication paths;
- and
- selecting the communication path from the plurality of candidate communication paths based on the plurality of security ratings.
