Methods and systems for controlling traffic to VPN servers

1. A computer-implemented method for managing traffic in a network comprising:

providing, at a computer including a graphical user interface (GUI), a request from a user to access the Internet;

determining, via the computer, information of the user including a security access in the network;

reviewing, via the GUI, selection criteria of plural, dynamic, virtual private network (VPN) cloud servers in the network;

ranking efficiency of the plural, dynamic, virtual VPN cloud servers in the network;

matching the user request with one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based on the ranked efficiency and the determined information; and

communicating with the matched dynamic VPN cloud server, wherein

an active session of the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers lasts until a predetermined condition is met,

the GUI displays a current, dynamically changing list of users matched with respective VPN cloud servers, and

the GUI displays a current, dynamically changing queue list of other users still to be matched with VPN cloud servers.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a unique IP address is associated with the one of the dynamic VPN cloud servers.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predetermined condition is selected from activity-type, traffic-type, load balancing, and combinations thereof.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the traffic-type is selected from video, web, voice and combinations thereof.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the activity-type is selected from inactivity, logging on, logging off, and combinations thereof.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the selection criteria are selected from source IP address, destination IP address, type of traffic to support, security access of the user or combinations thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining second information of a second user including security access in the network, the second information being different from the determined information of the user; and

matching the determined second information with another one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers and the ranked efficiency.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

creating a policy based upon the matching step for future traffic management.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network is an enterprise network for a company.

10. A computer-implemented system for enhancing security of traffic on a network comprising:

a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for dynamically managing web traffic of user equipment on the network;

a display including a graphical user interface (GUI); and

a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory and the display, the processor configured to execute the instructions of:

providing a request from a user to access the Internet;

determining information of the user including a security access in the network;

reviewing selection criteria of plural, dynamic, virtual private network (VPN) cloud servers in the network;

ranking efficiency of the plural, dynamic, virtual VPN cloud servers in the network;

matching the user request with one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based on the ranked efficiency; and

communicating with the matched dynamic VPN cloud server, wherein

an active session of the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers lasts until a predetermined condition is met,

the GUI displays a current, dynamically changing list of users matched with respective VPN cloud servers, and

the GUI displays a current, dynamically changing queue list of other users still to be matched with VPN cloud servers.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor configured to further execute the instructions of:

determining second information of a second user including a security access in the network, the determined second information of the second user being different from the determined information of the user; and

matching the determined second information with another one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers and the ranked efficiency.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor configured to further execute the instructions of:

determining second information of a second user; and

determining the second user is unauthorized to connect with the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based upon the second information.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions of selecting the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based upon a traffic-type of the user.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined condition is selected from activity-type, traffic-type, load balancing, and combinations thereof.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the traffic-type is selected from video, web, voice and combinations thereof.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the activity-type is selected from inactivity, logging on, logging off, and combinations thereof.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the selection criteria are selected from source IP address, destination IP address, type of traffic to support, security access of the user or combinations thereof.

18. A system for securing web traffic on a network comprising:

a policy controller including:

a non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon for dynamically managing the web traffic;

a display including a graphical user interface (GUI); and

a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory and the display, the processor configured to execute the instructions of:

determining information of a user based upon a request, the information including security access in the network;

reviewing, via the GUI, selection criteria of plural, dynamic, virtual private network (VPN) cloud servers in the network;

ranking efficiency of the plural, dynamic, virtual VPN cloud servers in the network; and

matching the user request with one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based on the ranked efficiency; and

a router operably coupled to the policy controller for directing traffic of the user to the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers, wherein

an active session of the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers lasts until a predetermined condition is met,

the GUI displays a current, dynamically changing list of users matched with respective VPN cloud servers, and

the GUI displays a current, dynamically changing queue list of other users still to be matched with VPN cloud servers.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein

the processor is further configured to execute the instructions of sending the web traffic of the user to the one of the plural, dynamic VPN cloud servers based upon the matching step.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the processor configured to further execute the instructions of:

determining second information of a second user; and

determining the second user is unauthorized to connect with the one of the dynamic VPN cloud servers based upon the second information.
