    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for communicating encrypted data via a virtual private network are disclosed. An example computer system disclosed herein includes a memory including instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to establish a first tunnel and a second tunnel between a VPN client and a VPN server. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to access a request message to be sent via the VPN and determine, in response to a payload being formatted using a first protocol, whether a packet associated with the request message includes an encrypted server name indication (SNI). The instructions further cause the one or more processors to, in response to the packet including the encrypted SNI, encrypt the header of the request message to form an encrypted header, create an encrypted message including the encrypted header and the payload of the request message, and transmit the encrypted message through the first tunnel.

    摘要: There is disclosed in one example a home router, including: a hardware platform including a processor and a memory; a local area network (LAN) interface; a data store including rules for domain name-based services; and instructions encoded within the memory to instruct the processor to: provision a certificate and key pair to provide domain name system (DNS) over hypertext transfer protocol secure (DoH) or DNS over transport layer security (DoT) services; receive on the LAN interface an encrypted DNS request; decrypt the DNS request; query the data store according to the DNS request; receive a rule for the DNS request; and execute the rule.
