Abstract:

A system includes a configuration server, a client device, and a VPN system. The configuration server is configured to send a configuration profile to a client device. The configuration profile is configured to cause the client device to connect to a VPN system without user input and send network traffic through the VPN system. The client device is configured to receive the configuration profile and apply the received configuration profile such that the client device is configured to connect to the VPN system without user input and send network traffic through the VPN system. The VPN system is configured to receive the network traffic sent by the client device through the VPN system and record information about the network traffic sent by the client device through the VPN system.
