Some examples relate to using a wireless packet for activating a wireless local area network capability on a user device. In an example, a user device receives a wireless packet comprising carrier network identification information from a low energy wireless broadcast enabled access point of a carrier network. In response to determining that the carrier network identification information in the wireless packet matches with carrier network information on the user device, the user device provides a notification message to activate a wireless local area network capability on the user device. After the wireless local area network capability is activated, the user device establishes a network connection with the access point and access the wireless local area network of the carrier network via the network connection.

Some examples relate to a verifying the authenticity of IKE exchange messages in a VPN. In an example, a VPN client sends a VPN server profile request message to a VPN server for establishing a VPN connection. In response, the VPN server provides a VPN server profile to the VPN client. The VPN server profile comprises a cryptographic public key associated with a server certificate of the VPN server. The VPN client stores the VPN server profile and sends an IKE message to the VPN server. In response to the IKE message, the VPN server sends a signed IKE response message. Upon receipt, the VPN client verifies the authenticity of the signed IKE response message. If the signed IKE message is successfully verified, the VPN client sends an identity of the VPN client to the VPN server.

In some examples, a first user device receives, from a second user device, a provisioning reference and an access token, the provisioning reference and the access token obtained by the second user device as part of a provisioning procedure performed by the second user device with a server. The first user device accesses the server using the provisioning reference and the access token to provision the first user device. The first user device receives, from the server, a network profile in response to the access token. The first user device connects to a network using the network profile.

Systems and methods related to a VPN controller are provided. In some embodiments, a first VPN controller is configured to establish a VPN tunnel with a client endpoint, wherein the VPN tunnel is established using an authentication process of the client endpoint, route a L2 request to a second VPN controller via an established communication tunnel between the first VPN controller and the second VPN controller by identifying a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) header of the L2 request and based on the GRE header of the L2 request, directing the L2 request to a responsive L2 device accessible by the second VPN controller, receive an encapsulated L2 response from the second VPN controller identifying acceptance of the L2 request, and enable an electronic communication between the client endpoint and the responsive L2 device at least via the VPN tunnel between the client endpoint and the first VPN controller.
