Abstract
Techniques to use operating system redirection for network stream transformation operations are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a network stream component operative to receive a network stream, the network stream associated with an application on a device; modify the network stream to generate a modified network stream; and send the modified network stream through an operating system for the device; and a local virtual private network component operative on the processor circuit to: receive the modified network stream from the operating system as a plurality of modified network stream packets; determine a network connection policy based on the application; and send the plurality of modified network stream packets to a destination network address via the network interface controller when the network connection policy indicates sending. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
