Abstract
A system, method and computer-program product for a client device to securely access a private network through a public wireless network. The system establishes a first network tunnel between the client device and a gateway of the public wireless network and then authenticates the client device with an authentication server of the private network using the first tunnel. The authentication is proxied by an authentication server of the public network. Once the authentication is successful, a second tunnel is established between the client device and a gateway of the private network for secure access by the client device to the private network.
