Parallel tunneling with virtual private network servers

A method, comprising:

• establishing, by a user device at substantially the same time, parallel virtual private network (VPN) connections including a first respective VPN connection with a first VPN server and a second respective VPN connection with a second VPN server;
• verifying, by the user device after establishing the parallel VPN connections, connectivity of the first respective VPN connection with the first VPN server and of the second respective VPN connection with the second VPN server;
• determining, by the user device based at least in part on verifying the connectivity, that the first respective VPN connection is terminated;
• transmitting, by the user device based at least in part on determining that the first respective VPN connection is terminated, an initiation request to a third VPN server to establish a third respective VPN connection with the third VPN server;
• and
• establishing, by the user device based at least in part on transmitting the initiation request, the third respective VPN connection with the third VPN server such that the parallel VPN connections include the second respective VPN connection with a second VPN server and the third respective VPN connection with the third VPN server.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a user device, configure the processor to:

• establish, at substantially the same time, parallel virtual private network (VPN) connections including a first respective VPN connection with a first VPN server and a second respective VPN connection with a second VPN server;
• verify, after establishing the parallel VPN connections, connectivity of the first respective VPN connection with the first VPN server and of the second respective VPN connection with the second VPN server;
• determine, based at least in part on verifying the connectivity, that the first respective VPN connection is terminated;
• transmit, based at least in part on determining that the first respective VPN connection is terminated, an initiation request to a third VPN server to establish a third respective VPN connection with the third VPN server;
• and
• establish, based at least in part on transmitting the initiation request, the third respective VPN connection with the third VPN server such that the parallel VPN connections include the second respective VPN connection with a second VPN server and the third respective VPN connection with the third VPN server.
