Abstract
Methods and systems for processing requests by a computing device (e.g., a user device) are disclosed. The user device is coupled to a server system (e.g., a proxy server). The user device detects a DNS lookup request including a domain name and generates a first response to the DNS lookup request. The first response includes a synthesized IP address associated at the computing device with the domain name. The user device detects a connection request subsequent to the first response. The connection request includes the synthesized IP address. The user device modifies the connection request. In some embodiments, the user device replaces the synthesized IP address in the connection request with the domain name. The user device further forwards the connection request to a server.
