Multi-tunneling virtual network adapter

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, from a virtual adapter operating in a kernel space portion of an operating system running on a computer system, a data packet by a routing component of a virtual private network (VPN) client, the routing component comprising a first routing table, and the VPN client residing in a user space portion of the operating system, wherein a second routing table of the operating system directs network traffic for virtual private networks to the virtual adapter;

identifying, by the routing component using the first routing table, a destination for the data packet;

creating, by the VPN client, a connection to a gateway corresponding to the destination for the data packet; and

transmitting the data packet to the destination via the gateway.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the destination for the data packet includes identifying the gateway corresponding to the destination for the data packet.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the connection to the gateway includes creating a transmission control protocol connection.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the connection to the gateway includes creating a user datagram protocol connection.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing the gateway connection.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the routing component, a plurality of data packets;

identifying a respective destination for each respective data packet from the plurality of data packets;

creating a respective connection to a gateway corresponding to a respective destination for each respective data packet in the plurality of data packets; and

transmitting each respective data packet to a destination of the respective packet via the respective gateway connection.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising removing one or more of the plurality of gateway connections.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of data packets are each routed through the virtual adapter.

9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a computer system to:

receive, from a virtual adapter operating in a kernel space portion of an operating system running on the computer system, a data packet by a routing component of a virtual private network (VPN) client, the routing component comprising a first routing table, and the VPN client residing in a user space portion of the operating system, wherein a second routing table of the operating system directs network traffic for virtual private networks to the virtual adapter;

identify, by the routing component using the first routing table, a destination for the data packet;

create, by the VPN client, a connection to a gateway corresponding to the destination for the data packet; and

transmit the data packet to the destination via the gateway.

10. A computer system comprising:

a processor; and

non-transitory memory in communication with the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to:

receive, from a virtual adapter operating in a kernel space portion of an operating system running on the computer system, a data packet by a routing component of a virtual private network (VPN) client, the routing component comprising a first routing table, and the VPN client residing in a user space portion of the operating system, wherein a second routing table of the operating system directs network traffic for virtual private networks to the virtual adapter;

identify, by the routing component using the first routing table, a destination for the data packet;

create, by the VPN client, a connection to a gateway corresponding to the destination for the data packet; and

transmit the data packet to the destination via the gateway.
