Abstract
A reverse TCP/IP stack infrastructure is disclosed. In an example use, an application executing on a client device as an operating system extension that uses a virtual private network stack of the operating system intercepts a first IP packet generated by a client program. The application determines that the first IP packet comprises a Transmission Control Protocol synchronize message and opens a socket to a destination Internet Protocol address and destination port. A synchronize acknowledgement is received. A packet to transmit to the client program is synthesized that includes a synchronize acknowledgment.
