Claim 9:
10. A system of blurring virtual private network (VPN) connection metadata associated with a user, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from the one or more VPN servers, VPN connection metadata associated with a user's VPN connections and a user identifier associated with the user;
performing statistical blurring of VPN connection metadata by modifying the VPN connection metadata using an unknown random value to create blurred connection metadata, wherein the blurred connection metadata produces 1-10% of false positives to obscure or blur the connection metadata when the connection metadata is queried or extracted; and
storing the blurred connection metadata in a user information database in association with the user identifier received.
