Systems and methods for dynamic connection paths for devices connected to computer networks

A computer-implemented method for dynamically selecting a connection path between a client device and a server, the method comprising:

• receiving, over a network at a server, a connection request from a client device;
• authenticating, by the server, the connection request from the client device;
• determining, by the server, a first connection path for the client device based on the connection request;
• establishing, by the server, a virtual tunnel between the client device and the server based on the first connection path;
• determining, by the server, whether the first connection path for the client device is a new connection path based on the connection request;
• storing, by the server, the first connection path to a connection database in association with the client device when the first connection path is determined to be new;
• and
• transferring data between the client device and the server using the first connection path.

A system for dynamically selecting a connection path between a client device and a server, the system including:

• a data storage device storing instructions for dynamically selecting a connection path between a client device and a server;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
• receiving, over a network at a server, a connection request from a client device;
• authenticating, by the server, the connection request from the client device;
• determining, by the server, a first connection path for the client device based on the connection request;
• establishing, by the server, a virtual tunnel between the client device and the server based on the first connection path;
• determining, by the server, whether the first connection path for the client device is a new connection path based on the connection request;
• storing, by the server, the first connection path to a connection database in association with the client device when the first connection path is determined to be new;
• and
• transferring data between the client device and the server using the first connection path.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions for dynamically selecting a connection path between a client device and a server, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable to implement:

• receiving, over a network at a server, a connection request from a client device;
• authenticating, by the server, the connection request from the client device;
• determining, by the server, a first connection path for the client device based on the connection request;
• establishing, by the server, a virtual tunnel between the client device and the server based on the first connection path;
• determining, by the server, whether the first connection path for the client device is a new connection path based on the connection request;
• storing, by the server, the first connection path to a connection database in association with the client device when the first connection path is determined to be new;
• and
• transferring data between the client device and the server using the first connection path.
