摘要： An application using a virtual private network (VPN) is programmed to transmit proxy traffic to a remote proxy server. Traffic to the proxy server is intercepted, shifted to user space, and processed according to one or more options. Traffic may be terminated by a local proxy that resolves domain names in traffic and requests referenced content. Intercepted traffic may include plain text data in headers that is encrypted before forwarding to a different proxy server. Traffic may be evaluated, such as a User Agent string in order to determine routing choices, such as blocking, throttling, local termination, transmitting through a VPN, or other options. Multiple VPNs may operate on the same user computer and proxy traffic may be intercepted and processed by transmitting it through a VPN, bypassing all VPNs, or routing through a different VPN.

摘要： A client and content provider are connected by a plurality of simultaneous transport connections. The number of the transport connections that are used to transfer data is selected based on the size of the data to be transferred and may change after transfer of data has commenced based on the amount of data left and the attributes of the transport connections. In another aspect, data to be transmitted over the transport connections is organized into frames such that each frame includes data from only one data stream. The frames are sized to be less than or equal to a control window of the transport connection over which they are transmitted. Each frame may be assigned to a transport connection in a round robin fashion or based on the size of the frame and the sizes of the control windows of the transport connections.

摘要： A network device allows inbound connections from external addresses to a computer on a local network while forbidding output connections from the computer to that external address unless preceded by an inbound connection therefrom. In some embodiments, the computer is allowed to accept inbound connections from external addresses but is not permitted to initiate outbound connections to other computers in the local network unless preceded by an inbound connection. In some embodiments, a request from an external address is processed by the network device by transmitting network information for the computer to the external address and temporarily changes network rules to allow connections from the external address. In some embodiments, if the computer attempts a disallowed connection, the connection attempt is routed through a proxy server by providing network data for the proxy server to the computer.

摘要： A virtual private router (VPR) intercepts DNS requests and returns a pseudo IP address to the requesting application and the pseudo IP address is mapped to a domain name in the request. Requests for content including the pseudo IP address are modified to include the corresponding domain name and transmitted to an intermediary server, which resolves the domain name to a real IP address and forwards the content request. The content is received by the intermediary server, which returns it to the requesting application, such as by way of the VPR. Real IP addresses may be returned by the intermediary server such that subsequent content requests to the domain name may bypass the intermediary server. Requests for certain domains, ports, and/or protocols may bypass the intermediary server such that the VPR resolves the domain names to real IP addresses.

摘要： A provider computer announces content to the provider computer and establishes a secure connection to a VPN server. Requests for the content are received in one protocol (HTTPS) from the consumer computer and forwarded to the VPN server in a less secure protocol (HTTP) by a protocol conversion proxy, which then forwards the request to the provider computer. A public URL and secure URL may be associated with the same content. The public URL is announced to a consumer computer. A public server receives the public URL and returns the secure URL, which consumer computer uses to establish a secure connection to the provider computer. Upon the secure URL being compromised, a new secure URL is associated with the public URL. The source IP addresses of requests for the public and secure URLs may be compared to determine whether the secure URL is compromised.

摘要： Web-based VPN system and corresponding service. The inventive web VPN system/service could be accessed by the users using only a conventional web browser without the need to install any specialized VPN client software on the user terminal, as it is the case with conventional VPN systems. User's terminal could be a user's desktop computer, notebook or a mobile device, such as a cell prone or a PDA, or any other computing platform what so ever, used by the user to access various network resources, such as web pages. One aspect is a web VPN service that encrypts, using, for example, SSL encryption, all web traffic going between the user's terminal and the Internet. System comprises a VPN server/proxy and an associated web server accessible by the user via a communication network, such as Internet. The web server associated with the VPN server/proxy communicates with the latter and enables the user to access and use the functionality provided by the private VPN server/proxy by means of a conventional web browser installed on the user's terminal.

摘要： A computer-implemented method for securing personal information of a user on social networks. The method involves: receiving personal information from a user in an unencrypted textual form by a client computer; transmitting the received personal information via a secure virtual private network (VPN) connection to a dedicated VPN server/proxy; receiving the personal information at the dedicated VPN server/proxy; encrypting the received personal information at the dedicated VPN server/proxy using an encryption key; and transmitting the encrypted personal information from the dedicated VPN server/proxy to the social network. Other users of the social network also use the dedicated VPN server/proxy in order to decrypt (access) the personal information of the user, which has been encrypted as specified above.

摘要： System enables users to surf the web and engage in social networking interaction through a downloadable peer-to-peer client that stores all user's private information locally on the user's computer. System establishes communication between the computers of multiple users participating in social interaction without having to store users' personal information on central servers. All user data, including, without limitation, pictures, ideas, personal information and communications with friends is maintained locally on the user's own computer and the social communication takes place between two or more users' computers. This provides the users with greater control over the dissemination of their personal information. In addition, the system randomly selects peer-to-peer social networking clients that are online at any given time and enable such clients to randomly and automatically connect with one another.

摘要： The invention provides an improved algorithm for selecting paid advertisements for inclusion with search engine results or with any resource retrieved from the Internet. The algorithm collects personalized data of each user and feeds the collected personalized data into search queries of search engines, to retrieve paid advertisements. The advertisements are retrieved based not only on search keywords input by the user, but also based on personal preferences, interests and demographics of the user, as well as the location of the user and the time when the search is performed. In other words, the inventive technology enables each user to receive very targeted, localized and personalized advertising materials.

摘要： Described are various implementations of location-targeted online services. When a user accesses the Internet from a supported location, he'll be able to use premium or exclusive online services (premium content, member-only discounts etc.) for free and without going through an elaborate subscription process. The location owner may promote these services before the user enters the location. Example: in addition to mentioning “free Internet”, the hotel owner can attract new customers by mentioning “free Netflix movies” or “free access to premium content, from Zagat reviews to stock reports”. It allows the location owner to utilize a network (WIFI) service provider as a means of increasing its core business and not just as a source of incremental advertisement income.
