1. A method of bypassing proxy settings of a computing device on a network wherein the proxy settings do not correspond to the network, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a request from the computing device in the form of a DNS or IP address;

    determining if the request is directed to a proxy server;

    responding to the request with the identification of a proxy server associated with the network;

    receiving a request from the computing device directed to the proxy server associated with the network, after the step of responding; and

    determining the level of access to the proxy server;

    redirecting the computing device to a predetermined location if the level of access is determined to not include access outside of the proxy server; and

    allowing the request to proceed to the proxy server associated with the network if the level of access is determined to include access outside of the proxy server.
