Zusammenfassung:	A method (500) for demarcating carrier-mediated and user-mediated networks includes, for a mobile device (110) simultaneously connected to a first wireless network (120) and a second wireless network (120), determining whether the first wireless network is associated with a same network operator (70) as the second wireless network. When the operator is the same, the method includes establishing a virtual private network (VPN) (30) between the mobile device and a remote server (130). The VPN includes a first VPN connection (122) that connects the mobile device to the remote server over the first wireless network and a second VPN connection (122) that connects the mobile device to the remote server over the second wireless network. The method includes transmitting data (50) from the mobile device to the remote server over the VPN via one of the VPN connections. The remote server routes the data to a destination server (60).
