1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • establishing, by a network manager, a network connection with a local area network (LAN) using a gateway device;

    transmitting a request to the gateway device via the network connection to access a Web server on the Internet;

    examining a response page received from the Internet via the gateway device to determine whether the response page is a redirect page from a Web proxy server or from a different domain than that was requested that requires a user to log in, in order to access the Web server;

    determining whether credentials associated with the user required for the login page have been previously cached locally; and

    automatically providing the cached credentials of the user in response to the login page without user intervention to log into the Web proxy server, if it is determined that the credentials have been previously cached locally.
