Abstract
A computer implemented method includes intercepting a packet in a mobile device, the packet having a destination network address. A first virtual private network (VPN) plugin for which the packet is intended is identified out of multiple active VPN plugins. The packet is forwarded to the first VPN plugin. The first packet is forwarded via the VPN tunnel while keeping other VPNs having corresponding other plugins active, enabling multiple remote VPN connections using just one VPN tunnel.
