Patent ID: 7680954

Claim:
A method for redirecting web browser requests issued by a user device in a network, the wireless device having a browser configured with a proxy server name and capable of communicating with a DNS server and a web server, the method comprising the steps of: generating, by the DNS server, a private Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the user device in response to a non-resolvable DNS query from the user device; creating, by the DNS server, a one-to-one mapping that relates the private IP address to the proxy server name; receiving, by the web server, a web browser request from the user device, the web browser request being redirected to the web server and having an original destination IP address equal to the private IP address; and identifying, by the web server, the proxy server name from the private IP address using the one-to-one mapping, wherein said web browser request will only be resolved if said web server determines that said web browser request which is redirected to said private IP address is supposed to be a proxy server request to a server associated with said proxy server name, which is the non-resolved DNS query, for a web page from a second server which is not said server associated with said proxy server name, otherwise said web server will reject said web browser request.
