Method and system for secure communication with shared cloud services

A network connected computer system comprising:

• an interface communicatively coupled to the network;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the memory stores at least part of a distributed hash table storing tunneling virtual private network (VPN) connection information retrievable using a hashing function based on a parameter identifying a requester and a parameter identifying a software service, the VPN connection information being suitable for establishing a secure VPN connection between the requester and the software service,
• wherein the computer system is arranged to receive, via the interface, a request to access a shared software service accessible via the network, the request including an identification of a requester and an identification of the software service, and
• wherein the processor is arranged to retrieve VPN connection information from the memory based on the identification of a requester and the identification of the software service received via the interface.
