Systems and methods for redirecting network traffic include a policy server configured to be in communication with a policy database and a client disposed on a remote device. The policy server is configured to receive an inquiry from the client regarding a universal resource locator (URL) request and, based on a policy obtained from the policy database, cause the client to control the remote device such that network traffic associated with the URL request is routed (tunneled) via a particular interface, e.g., a virtual private network (VPN) connection, when so required by the policy, and network traffic associated with the URL request is routed over a different VPN connection or a non-VPN connection when so required by the policy.
