Patent ID: 8892640

Claim:
An access control method implemented in a web browsing session, comprising: receiving, by an access terminal, a Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) request message from a user equipment (UE), wherein the HTTP request message comprises a website domain name and an IP address, and wherein if there is a correspondence between the website domain name and an IP address cached in the UE, the IP address in the HTTP request is the IP address cached in the UE; determining, by the access terminal, whether the IP address in the HTTP request message is an IP address of the access terminal; if the IP address in the HTTP request message is the IP address of the access terminal, and the website domain name in the HTTP request message does not match a domain name of the access terminal, obtaining, by the access terminal, an actual IP address corresponding to the website domain name in the HTTP request message via a domain name system (DNS) resolution; and controlling, by the access terminal, the UE to access a target website corresponding to the actual IP address.
