Examples described herein include systems and methods for creating a per-app virtual private network (“VPN”) using hooking, even though an isolated process is used for networking functions. The isolated process can include networking functions of the WebView class for ANDROID. The application can start an HTTP proxy server to receive local HTTP requests. Then, the application can trigger a broadcast to the isolated process, causing the isolated process to route its HTTP requests to the HTTP proxy of the application. The application can then hook HTTP requests and send them to a virtual private network (“VPN”) tunnel server. This can allow an application to securely connect to enterprise files or data even though the networking functions occur in the isolated process.
A method for creating a per-app virtual private network (“VPN”) based on multiple processes, comprising:
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform stages for creating a per-app virtual private network (“VPN”) based on multiple processes, the stages comprising:
A system for creating a per-app virtual private network (“VPN”) based on multiple processes, comprising:
