Abstract

A privacy gateway may communicate with user devices located at a plurality of premises. The privacy gateway may receive a data packet, from one of the user devices, indicating destinations, such as other computing devices, located external to the premises. The privacy gateway may decrypt at least a portion of the data packet to determine that at least a portion of data in the packet is associated with the user device. The privacy gateway may remove the data associated with the user device from the data packet and replace the removed data with data associated with the privacy gateway. The privacy gateway may send the data packet with the replaced data to a destination device. The privacy gateway may receive a response to the data packet from the destination device. The privacy gateway may encrypt a portion of the response and send the response to the user device.
