Virtual private networking based on peer to peer communication

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a plurality of mobile devices to access an access gateway when at least one of the plurality of mobile devices cannot establish a virtual private network connection with the access gateway. A mobile device can configure itself as a member of a mesh network. A virtual private network connection can be established between the mobile device and the access network. The mesh network may include one or more other member devices that are unable to establish a virtual private network with the access gateway. After completing its configuration, the mobile device can receive data for the access gateway from one of the other member devices via the peer-to-peer configuration of the mesh network. The mobile device can send the data to the access gateway via the virtual private network connection. [Selection diagram] Fig. 7
