Transparent routed unified virtual private cloud

Abstract

Methods and systems for setting up a virtual private cloud can involve providing redundant or nested security layers including a local firewall within a provider firewall. In addition, a virtual private cloud proxy server can be provided with access to a data network through the local firewall and provider firewall. In addition, the virtual private cloud proxy server can be configured in coordination with the local firewall and the provider firewall to enable transparent proxying, wherein TCP/UDP traffic is redirected to a local port, with support interchangeable use IPV4 and IPV6, to selectively allow access to all system within the provider firewall. Furthermore, access can be provided to a set of rules, whereby internet packet traffic is filtered and then directed to and from clients within the local firewall based on a list of rules.
