Abstract
Mobile management method, system and client. The method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on a client; retrieving reputation data associated with the host name from a local cache on the client; determining a policy for the host name, which is associated with the host name and the reputation data associated with the host name; based on the determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to the host name; sending at least attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on the client; and transmitting the attempted network flow metadata in the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel.
