Abstract:
In some embodiments, a network regulator device protects a local network of client systems (e.g. Internet-of-things devices such as smartphones, home appliances, wearables, etc.) against computer security threats. When introduced to the local network, some embodiments of network regulator take over some network services from a router, and automatically install the network regulator as gateway to the local network. The network regulator then carries out an automatic device discovery procedure and distribute device-specific utility agents to the protected client systems. An exemplary utility agent detects when its host device has left the local network, and in response, sets up a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel with a security server to maintain protection of the respective device.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the security agent is configured to:\n determine whether the client system is currently connected to the local network; in response, when the client system is currently not connected to the client system, set up a communication tunnel between the client system and a remote security server; and transmit via the communication tunnel a second request by the client system to access a second resource located outside the local network, wherein the security server is configured to determine whether granting access to the resource constitutes a computer security threat to the client system.
