A system for mediating Internet service includes a DNS server and a DNS policy engine associated with the DNS server. The DNS policy engine can be configured to apply one or more DNS policies selected by the DNS policy engine to DNS queries received by the DNS server from a client, analyze the DNS query based on predetermined criteria, and based on the analysis, and selectively redirect a data request associated with the client to a proxy server for further mediation. The system can further include a proxy server and a proxy policy engine associated with the proxy server. The proxy policy engine can be configured to apply one or more proxy policies selected by the proxy policy engine to at least one of data requests received by the proxy server from a client and data responses returned to the proxy server from an IP address.

Internet mediation

Systems and methods for a user to personalize Internet content from an Internet service provider using selected policy applications. The policy applications may be discrete, single purpose applications. The system may be controlled from home gateways and remote devices.

Redirecting DNS traffic includes receiving, at an Internet improvement platform, a DNS query issued from an Internet application running on a computing device. The Internet navigation platform determines an appropriate response to the DNS query. The response is then executed. Characteristics relative to the query and to the result of a served page may be recorded and later referenced by the Internet improvement platform.
