Dynamic management of servers based on environmental events

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

• configuring a VPN server to utilize, during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and a user device, a first exit internet protocol (IP) address to transmit a first query to a host device for retrieving data of interest requested by the user device;
• configuring the VPN server to predict, during the established VPN connection, potential overloading of the VPN server based at least in part on predicting a potential breach of a critical threshold associated with the VPN server, the predicting being prior to the potential overloading;
• configuring the VPN server to establish, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on predicting the potential overloading, a secure connection with a secondary server to enable communication of encrypted information between the VPN server and the secondary server;
• and
• configuring the VPN server to transmit, during the established VPN connection and to the secondary server over the secure connection, an encrypted message identifying the host device and the data of interest to be retrieved from the host device to enable the secondary server to transmit a second query to request the data of interest based at least in part on 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 utilize, during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and a user device, a first exit internet protocol (IP) address to transmit a query to a host device for requesting data of interest requested by the user device;
• configure the VPN server to predict, during the established VPN connection, potential overloading of the VPN server based at least in part on predicting a potential breach of a critical threshold associated with the VPN server, the predicting being prior to the potential overloading;
• configure the VPN server to establish, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on predicting the potential overloading, a secure connection with a secondary server to enable communication of encrypted information between the VPN server and the secondary server;
• and
• configure the VPN server to transmit, during the established VPN connection and to the secondary server over the secure connection, an encrypted message identifying the host device and the data of interest to be retrieved from the host device to enable the secondary server to transmit a second query to request the data of interest based at least in part on utilizing a second exit IP address, different from the first exit IP address.
