Abstract
A method includes receiving a request from a client device regarding a website, wherein the request is received by a network device in communication with the client device via a LAN, transmitting the request to a server associated with the website, receiving a web page from the server, modifying the web page to include additional content associated with an approximate geographic area having access to the LAN, and transmitting the modified web page to the client device. Another method includes receiving a DNS request associated with a request regarding a first website from a client device, wherein the request is received by a DNS server in communication with the client device via a LAN, redirecting the request to a server associated with a second website different from the first website, wherein the DNS server is configured to respond to all DNS requests by transmitting the IP address for the server associated with the second website, and transmitting a web page from the second website to the client device.
