Systems and methods for requesting and delivering network content
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first proxy server, a request for content from a network from a requesting device;
replacing, by the first proxy server, a first identifier of a requestor of the content with a second identifier, wherein the first identifier is associated with restricted network access and the second identifier is associated with unrestricted network access;
requesting, by the first proxy server, the content using the second identifier;
receiving the requested content;
modifying at least one portion the requested content to remove disallowed content items; and
transmitting the requested content with the modified at least one portion to the requesting device.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating content requests while maintaining content restrictions may include a proxy server configured to filter requested content based on specified content restrictions. The proxy server may initially retrieve the requested content from an external site using unrestricted access credentials. Upon receipt of the requested content, the proxy server may filter the content to remove and/or replace portions thereof that do not comply with content restrictions. In some arrangements, filtering parameters may be user and/or device-specific. Additionally or alternatively, the proxy server may subscribe to and/or use information streams or feeds to deliver content from requested sites to a user. By delivering information streams or feeds, the potential for user transmission of data to external sites may be reduced and/or eliminated.
