Provided are methods of ensuring network continuity performed at a local gateway, a fixed gateway, and a network device. The method of ensuring network continuity performed at a local gateway includes establishing a tunnel with a fixed gateway serving as a relay between an Internet service server and the local gateway, and performing communication with the fixed gateway through the tunnel. Therefore, even when the type of an uplink signal received by a local gateway changes or the local gateway is in an uplink signal shadow area, a terminal connected to the local gateway can be provided with a seamless Internet service.

Disclosed are a system for managing virtual private networks (VPNs) includes: terminals configured to transmit user data; a manager configured to transmit information for concealing networks and managing the VPNs; border gateways configured to decrypt the user data and perform a network address translation (NAT) procedure and a filtering procedure on the decrypted user data based on the information; and servers configured to receive the user data subjected to the NAT procedure and the filtering procedure, wherein the filtering procedure is a procedure discarding the user data to be transferred to the servers that are not allowed so as to allow the terminals to access only the allowed servers, the NAT procedure is a procedure changing an Internet protocol (IP) address used in a first network to an IP address used in a second network, and the first network and the second network are different networks.
