VPN Proxy Selection for Data Session Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Virtual Private Network (VPN) servers face challenges in managing data sessions effectively due to identification as suspicious sources by remote servers, leading to blocked data management services and limited access to certain Internet sites, as they are often detected through network peering and previous behavior records.
Innovation Solution
A VPN server system that selects and utilizes proxy devices based on known attributes of remote servers and data session requirements to route data requests, allowing for optimized data management and access by bypassing specific domains or IP addresses, and forwarding data through these proxy devices to maintain connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a VPN server is used to provide alternative network routes and encryption, then data access and connectivity are improved, but the VPN server is detected as a suspicious source by remote servers leading to blocking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces proxy devices as intermediary components between the VPN server and remote servers. The VPN server routes data requests through selected proxy devices, which then communicate with remote servers. This intermediary layer masks the VPN server's identity from remote servers, preventing detection and blocking while maintaining data access connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the data transmission path into multiple independent components: the VPN server, multiple proxy devices, and remote servers. By dividing the connection path and using multiple proxy devices with different IP addresses, the system reduces the risk of complete blocking and maintains reliability even if individual proxies are blocked.
2Reliability
If proxy devices are used to forward data requests, then the likelihood of being blocked is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated proxy selection and management systems where the VPN server automatically selects appropriate proxy devices based on attributes like IP address, location, and availability. The system self-manages proxy device selection, data routing decisions, and session management without requiring manual intervention, reducing operational complexity despite the increased architectural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes routing parameters and proxy selection criteria based on real-time conditions such as proxy availability, data session requirements, and remote server attributes. This dynamic parameter adjustment optimizes data transmission while managing system complexity through adaptive rather than static configurations.
3Productivity
If multiple proxy devices are selected based on data session requirements, then data throughput is improved, but the selection process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the VPN server monitors data session performance, proxy device availability, and transmission success rates. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts proxy device selection and routing decisions to optimize data throughput while managing selection process complexity through data-driven automation.
Data Source
AI summary
One example may include receiving a data session request at a VPN server from a client device to establish a data session to receive data from a remote server, determining whether the data session request should be routed to one or more available proxy devices based on one or more of known attributes of the remote server and a data session requirement associated with the data session, selecting by the VPN server, one or more proxy devices to forward the data request to the remote server, and the one or more proxy devices are selected based on one or more data session requirements associated with the data session and receiving, at the VPN server, the data from the remote server by the one or more proxy devices, and forwarding, via the VPN server, the data to the client device.
