Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A virtual private network (VPN) server, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
utilize, during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and a user device, a first exit internet protocol (IP) address to transmit a query to a host device for requesting data of interest requested by the user device;
predict, during the established VPN connection, potential overloading of the VPN server based at least in part on predicting a potential breach of a critical threshold associated with the VPN server, the predicting being prior to the potential breach;
establish, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on predicting the potential breach, a secure connection with a secondary server to enable communication of encrypted information between the VPN server and the secondary server; and
transmit, during the established VPN connection and to the secondary server over the secure connection, an encrypted message identifying the host device and the data of interest to be retrieved from the host device to enable the secondary server to transmit a second query to request the data of interest based at least in part on utilizing a second exit IP address, different from the first exit IP address.
