Rotating internet protocol addresses in a virtual private network
A method for rotating internet protocol (IP) addresses in a virtual private network (VPN), the method comprising receiving, at a first VPN server during an established VPN connection, a first data request and a second data request from a user device, retrieving first data associated with the first data request using a first exit IP address, and retrieving second data associated with the second data request using a second exit IP address, different from the first exit IP address. Various other aspects are contemplated.
1. A method for rotating exit internet protocol (IP) addresses in a virtual private network (VPN), the method comprising:
receiving, at a first VPN server during an established VPN connection, a first data request and a second data request from a user device;
retrieving, by the VPN server during the established VPN connection, first data associated with the first data request using a first exit IP address associated with the VPN server; and
retrieving, by the VPN server during the established VPN connection, second data associated with the second data request using a second exit IP address associated with the VPN server, the second exit IP address being different from the first exit IP address.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein
retrieving the first data includes retrieving the first data in association with a second VPN server, or
retrieving the second data includes retrieving the second data in association with the second VPN server.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first exit IP address and the second exit IP address are from among a pool of exit IP addresses available to the first VPN server.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second exit IP address is randomly selected from a pool of exit IP address available to the first VPN server.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second exit IP address is sequentially selected from a pool of exit IP addresses available to the first VPN server.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein retrieving the first data includes retrieving the first data using a first socket and retrieving the second data includes retrieving the second data using the first socket.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein retrieving the first data includes retrieving the first data using a first socket and retrieving the second data includes retrieving the second data using a second socket, different from the first socket.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the first data or the second data to the user device based at least in part on a correlation between an entry IP address and the first exit IP address or the second exit IP address.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the second data request includes receiving the second data request after retrieving the first data associated with the first data request.
10. A first virtual private network (VPN) server associated with rotating exit internet protocol (IP) addresses in a VPN, the first VPN server comprising:
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
receive, during an established VPN connection, a first data request and a second data request from a user device;
retrieve, during the established VPN connection, first data associated with the first data request using a first exit IP address associated with the first VPN server; and
retrieve, during the established VPN connection, second data associated with the second data request using a second exit IP address associated with the first VPN server, the second exit IP address being different from the first exit IP address.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first exit IP address or the second exit IP address is related to an entry IP address associated with a second VPN server.
12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first exit IP address and the second exit IP address are from among a pool of exit IP addresses available to the first VPN server.
13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the second exit IP address is randomly selected from a pool of exit IP address available to the first VPN server.
14. The device of claim 10 , wherein the second exit IP address is sequentially selected from a pool of exit IP address available to the first VPN server.
15. The device of claim 10 , wherein, to retrieve data, the memory and the processor are configured to retrieve the first data using a first socket and to retrieve the second data using the first socket.
16. The device of claim 10 , wherein, to retrieve data, the memory and the processor are configured to retrieve the first data using a first socket and to retrieve the second data using a second socket, different from the first socket.
17. The device of claim 10 , wherein the memory and the processor are configured to:
transmit the first data or the second data to the user device based at least in part on a correlation between an entry IP address and the first exit IP address or the second exit IP address.
18. The device of claim 10 , wherein the memory and the processor are configured to receive the second data request after retrieving the first data associated with the first data request.
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to store instructions, which when executed by a processor associated with a first virtual private network (VPN) server, cause the processor to:
receive, an established VPN connection, a first data request and a second data request from a user device;
retrieve, during the established VPN connection, first data associated with the first data request using a first exit IP address associated with the first VPN server; and
retrieve, during the established VPN connection, second data associated with the second data request using a second exit IP address associated with the first VPN server, the second exit IP address being different from the first exit IP address.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the first exit IP address or the second exit IP address is related to an entry IP address associated with a second VPN server.
