Abstract
A method including retrieving, by a device associated with a virtual private network (VPN) server from a read-only device, an initial operating system associated with the VPN server providing VPN services; transmitting, by the device based at least in part on executing the initial operating system, a first request to an infrastructure device for a VPN operating system to enable the VPN server to provide the VPN services; receiving, by the device from the infrastructure device based at least in part on transmitting the request, the VPN operating system; and executing, by the device, the VPN operating system to provide the VPN services is disclosed. Various other aspects are contemplated.

A method, comprising:
- retrieving, by a device associated with a virtual private network (VPN) server from a read-only device, an initial operating system associated with the VPN server providing VPN services;
- transmitting, by the device based at least in part on executing the initial operating system, a first request to an infrastructure device for a VPN operating system to enable the VPN server to provide the VPN services;
- receiving, by the device from the infrastructure device based at least in part on transmitting the request, the VPN operating system;
- and
- executing, by the device, the VPN operating system to provide the VPN services.
A device associated with a virtual private network (VPN) server, the device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
- retrieve, from a read-only device, an initial operating system associated with the VPN server providing VPN services;
- transmit, based at least in part on executing the initial operating system, a first request to an infrastructure device for a VPN operating system to enable the VPN server to provide the VPN services;
- receive, from the infrastructure device based at least in part on transmitting the request, the VPN operating system;
- and
- execute the VPN operating system to provide the VPN services.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a device associated with a virtual private network (VPN) server, configure the processor to:
- retrieve, from a read-only device, an initial operating system associated with the VPN server providing VPN services;
- transmit, based at least in part on executing the initial operating system, a first request to an infrastructure device for a VPN operating system to enable the VPN server to provide the VPN services;
- receive, from the infrastructure device based at least in part on transmitting the request, the VPN operating system;
- and
- execute the VPN operating system to provide the VPN services.
