Is there a way to find out whether the current chat session is happening through a VPN connection programatically (using either C# or Java) ?
I don’t have access to network tools to do a R&D ( first of all not sure whether it can be tracked live), hence i haven’t tried anything.
Any help/pointers/directions will of great help.
Thanks
I believe it would depend on how the VPN is set up.
If the VPN is connected using a software endpoint then it will normally have a simulated network adaptor that you could most likely find the name of (the hardware drivers display name not the connection name) and compare it to a list of known VPN network adaptors.
If the VPN is connected using a hardware endpoint like a firewall or other dedicated network device then there may be no way to tell without some sort of man in the middle hardware approach.
