Transparently identifying users using a shared VPN tunnel uses an innovative method to detect a user of a shared VPN tunnel, after authenticating the user, using an assigned userid (that may be a virtual IP). The virtual IP is used as a cookie in each request made by the user. This cookie is an authentication token used by the gateway to detect the user behind a specific request for an Internet resource (such as an http/s request). The cookie is stripped by the gateway so the cookie is not sent to the resource.

Methods and systems provide mechanisms for inspection devices, such as firewalls and servers and computers associated therewith, to selectively manipulate files, for which a download has been requested. The manipulation is performed in a manner which is transparent to the requesting user.

Methods and systems provide mechanisms for inspection devices, such as firewalls and servers and computers associated therewith, to modify HTTP requests, without requiring the inspection device to terminate the connections at the TCP (Transport Control Protocol) level, as occurs with contemporary web proxies, e.g., web proxy servers&#x2014;either explicit or implicit proxies.

A computer-readable storage medium has embedded thereon non-transient computer-readable code for controlling access to a protected computer network, by intercepting packets that are being exchanged between a computer system and the protected network, and then, for each intercepted packet, identifying the associated application that is running on the computer system, determining whether the application is trusted, for example according to a white list or according to a black list, and disposing of the packet accordingly.
