Abstract
An application using a VPN is programmed to transmit proxy traffic to a remote proxy server. Traffic to the proxy server is intercepted, shifted to user space, and processed according to one or more options. Traffic may be terminated by a local proxy that resolves domain names in traffic and requests referenced content. Intercepted traffic may include plain text data in headers that is encrypted before forwarding to a different proxy server. Traffic may be evaluated, such as a User Agent string in order to determine routing choices, such as blocking, throttling, local termination, transmitting through a VPN, or other options. Multiple VPNs may operate on the same user computer and proxy traffic may be intercepted and processed by transmitting it through a VPN, bypassing all VPNs, or routing through a different VPN.
