A system for content delivery operates as a static network device for delivering content to a mobile node. The system includes a transceiver adapted to receive a device identifier over a public network from the mobile node, the device identifier based on a combination of user-configurable and non-user-configurable parameters of the mobile node, a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and to memory storing executable code. Executed, the code enables the processor to access a database of authorized device identifiers corresponding to known mobile nodes, establish, in response to the received device identifier matching one of the authorized device identifiers, a secure private network (SPN) with the mobile node, the established SPN tunneling across a segment of the public network, obtain the content for the mobile node, and send the content to the mobile node via the SPN.
