1. A virtual private network (VPN) infrastructure device, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the processor being configured to:
configure a VPN server to receive, from a user device during an established VPN connection between the VPN server and the user device, a data request for the VPN server to retrieve data of interest from a host device;
configure the VPN server to transmit, to the host device during the established VPN connection, a query to retrieve the data of interest based at least in part on utilizing a first exit IP address;
configure the VPN server to determine, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on transmitting the query, that the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device;
configure the VPN server to retrieve, during the established VPN connection and based at least in part on determining that the first exit IP address is blocked by the host device, the data of interest based at least in part on utilizing a second exit IP address, different from the first exit IP address; and
configure the VPN server to transmit, to the user device during the established VPN connection, the data of interest that is retrieved based at least in part on utilizing the second exit IP address.
