Abstract
A mobile device application executing on a mobile device as an operating system extension that uses a virtual private network (VPN) stack of the operating system intercepts a first Internet protocol (IP) packet for delivery to a remote computer system. The application determines that the intercepted first IP packet is associated with sensitive information. In response creates a VPN tunnel between the remote computer system to securely send data from the mobile device to the remote computer system.
