Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that enable a computing device to dynamically generate virtual private network (VPN) connection profiles to which policies can be mapped and then subsequently enforced. The VPN connection profiles are dynamically generated by a translation engine by obtaining parameters from payloads received from a plurality of different VPN gateways pursuant to establishing connections therewith in accordance with a respective plurality of different tunneling protocols, which may include both standard and proprietary tunneling protocols. The dynamically-generated VPN connection profiles are then provided to a connection manager, which enforces any policies associated with the VPN connection profiles when servicing requests for connections received from applications running on the computing device.
