Abstract
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to zero trust network access (“ZTNA”) and virtual private network (“VPN”) client offloading. According to one aspect, a user device can establish a private network session to access a private network resource in a private network. The user device can receive a request to offload the private network session from the user device to a secure router. In response to the request, the user device can offload the private network session to the secure router.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- establishing, by a user device comprising a processor executing a private network application, a private network session to access a private network resource in a private network;
- receiving, by the user device comprising the processor executing a router management application, a request to offload the private network session from the user device to a secure router;
- and
- in response to the request, offloading, by the user device, the private network session to the secure router.
A user device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising establishing, via a private network application, a private network session to access a private network resource in a private network,
- receiving, via a router management application, a request to offload the private network session from the user device to a secure router, and
- in response to the request, offloading the private network session to the secure router.
A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a user device, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- establishing, by a private network application, a private network session to access a private network resource in a private network;
- receiving, by a router management application, a request to offload the private network session from the user device to a secure router;
- and
- in response to the request, offloading the private network session to the secure router.
