Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, in response to being executed by a processor of a device, causes the device to perform operations, wherein the operations comprise: detecting a home network having an associated access point based on the device being within a first defined proximity of the associated access point; transmitting information indicative of a request to establish a guest network via the associated access point of the home network and providing authentication information for an entity associated with the device; and establishing the guest network according to one or more assigned resources based on receipt of an acknowledgement message received from a cloud device, wherein receipt of the acknowledgment message from the cloud device is based on cloud device determination that the entity associated with the device is authenticated and based on receipt of an authorization by an entity associated with the home network, wherein the guest network is further established according to a defined geofence around the associated access point and wherein the guest network is provided for access by the device via the one or more assigned resources based on a determination that the device is within a second defined proximity of the defined geofence, and wherein access to the guest network is closed based on a determination that the device fails to be within the second defined proximity of the defined geofence.
