    Abstract: A method, client device and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for connecting to a virtual private network (VPN). A request to connect to a destination identified by a hostname is received from an application executed on the client device and a domain name system (DNS) lookup functionality is performed on the hostname, the DNS lookup functionality returning an address. It is then determined whether the returned address is a redirected address, whether a hypertext transmission protocol secure (HTTPS) probe configured for the hostname fails, or whether the returned address matches a cached route in which a transmission control protocol (TCP) connection establishment is unsuccessful. If any of the returned address is a redirected address, the HTTPS probe fails or the returned address matches the cached route and the TCP connection establishment is unsuccessful, the client device is connected to the VPN.

    Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for avoiding network connectivity stalls at a mobile computing device. In an idle state, a performance analyzer executing on the mobile computing device is configured to passively analyze high-level network connectivity information to detect any minor issues with the network connectivity being provided by a primary interface (e.g., WiFi). When minor issues are detected, the mobile computing device transitions into an alerted state, where high emphasis is placed on using the WiFi interface and low emphasis is placed on using a secondary interface (e.g., Cellular). In the alerted state, the mobile computing device actively analyzes low-level connectivity information to detect any major issues with the WiFi interface. When major issues are detected, the mobile computing device transitions into a fallback state, where high emphasis is placed on using the Cellular interface and low emphasis is placed on using the WiFi interface.

    Abstract: Described are methods that allow credentials of a first client station to authenticate a second client station. An exemplary method includes associating a first client station with a second client station, the first client station including credential information, the associating authorizing the second client station to use the credential information, transmitting, by the second client station, an association request to a network, the network utilizing the credential information to authorize a connection, the second client station configured to perform a proxy functionality for requests received from the network to be forwarded to the first client station and responses received from the first client station to be forwarded to the network, determining, by the network, whether the credential information received from the second client station is authenticated and establishing a connection between the second client station and the network using the credential information of the first client station.
