Abstract:

A computer implemented method comprising receiving a list of one or more contact points from a sender and comparing the list of one or more contact points to a satellite server's do-not-contact list. Any contact point on the list of one or more contact points that appears on the satellite server's do-not-contact list is reported to the sender. The satellite server's do-not-contact list is generated from a do-not-contact list distributed by a master server. A registrant registers with the master server to provide a registrant contact point to be on the do-not-contact list to be distributed by the master server. The contact points in the registry may be organized in a hierarchy with preferences at one or more levels.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for improving loading of web resources. A server receives a request for a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document requested by a client network application. The server retrieves the requested document. The server automatically modifies objects referenced in the HTML document that have an external source such that loading of those objects by the client network application will be deferred. The server inserts a client-side script loader or a reference to the client-side script loader into the HTML document. The client-side script loader is configured to, when executed by the client network application, attempt to load the objects that have been deferred. The server transmits the modified HTML document to the client network application.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709217

Abstract:

A first packet is received at a proxy server from a client and includes a first incoming request for an action to be performed on an identified resource. The first packet is received at the proxy server as a result of a DNS request for a domain corresponding to the identified resource resolving to an IP address of the proxy server. The proxy server selects, based on at least in part on a set of parameters associated with the first packet, one of multiple IP addresses for use as a source IP address for a second packet that carries an outgoing request and transmits the second packet. The proxy server receives a third packet that includes an incoming response from the destination origin server in response to the outgoing request and transmits a fourth packet to the client that includes an outgoing response based on the incoming response.

US Classification:

709217, 709226, 709245

Abstract:

A first packet of a first protocol version type that includes an incoming request for an action to be performed on an identified resource is received from a client at a proxy server as a result of a DNS request resolving to a network address of the proxy server. The proxy server transmits an outgoing request for the action to be performed on the identified resource to a network address of the destination origin server in a second packet that is of the second protocol version type. The proxy server receives a third packet that includes an incoming response from the destination origin server, the third packet being of the second protocol version type. The proxy server transmits a fourth packet to the client, the fourth packet being of the first protocol version type, wherein the fourth packet includes an outgoing response that is based on the incoming response.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

A proxy server receives from a client device a request for a network resource hosted at an origins server for a domain. The request is received at the proxy server as a result of a DNS request for the domain resolving to the proxy server. The origin server is one of multiple origin servers that belong to different domains and resolve to the proxy server and are owned by different entities. The proxy server requests the network resource from the origin server. The proxy server receives a response from the origin server that indicates that the network resource is unavailable. The proxy server transmits a custom error page to the client device that indicates that the requested resource is unavailable.

International Classification:

G06F 21/20

US Classification:

726 23

Abstract:

A validating server receives from a client device a first request that does not include a cookie for a validating domain that resolves to the validating sever. The first request is received at the validating server as a result of a proxy server redirecting the client device to the validating domain upon a determination that a visitor belonging to the client device is a potential threat based on an IP (Internet Protocol) address assigned to the client device used for a second request to perform an action on an identified resource hosted on an origin server for an origin domain. The validating server sets a cookie for the client device, determines a set of characteristics associated with the first client device, and transmits the cookie and a block page to the client device that has been customized based on the set of characteristics, the block page indicating that the second request has been blocked.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

A domain name is received from a customer. DNS is queried for multiple possible subdomains of the domain. For each subdomain that resolves, information about that subdomain's corresponding resource record is stored in a zone file that also includes a resource record for the domain name. The zone file is presented to the customer. A designation from the customer of which of the resource records are to point to an IP address of a proxy server is received. The resource records are modified according to the input of the customer and the zone file is propagated including the modified resource records.
