Utilization of multiple exit internet protocol addresses in a virtual private network

A method in a virtual private network (VPN), the method comprising:

• configuring a VPN server to receive, from a user device during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and the user device, a data request for the VPN server to retrieve data of interest from a host device;
• configuring the VPN server to utilize, during the established VPN connection, a first exit internet protocol (IP) address to transmit a query to the host device for retrieving the data of interest;
• configuring the VPN server to determine, based at least in part on transmitting the query, that the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device;
• and
• configuring the VPN server to transmit, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on determining that the first exit IP address is blocked, the data request to a secondary server to enable retransmission of the query to the host device by utilizing a second exit IP address, different from the first exit IP address.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a virtual private network (VPN) infrastructure device, configure the processor to:

• configure a VPN server to receive, from a user device during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and the user device, a data request for the VPN server to retrieve data of interest from a host device;
• configure the VPN server to utilize, during the established VPN connection, a first exit internet protocol (IP) address to transmit a query to the host device for retrieving the data of interest;
• configure the VPN server to determine, based at least in part on transmitting the query, that the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device;
• and
• configure the VPN server to transmit, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on determining that the first exit IP address is blocked, the data request to a secondary server to enable retransmission of the query to the host device by utilizing a second exit IP address, different from the first exit IP address.
