Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for automatically establishing a virtual private network (VPN) based on detecting a connection to a public network. A computing device may detect a connection to a public network. The computing device may determine whether the connection to the public network is secured and/or may determine a quality of that connection. If the connection is unsecure and/or if the quality satisfies a quality threshold, the computing device may establish a VPN session.
