Abstract

Methods and systems for forwarding data packets by a server system (e.g., a proxy server) are disclosed. The proxy server is coupled to a user device and a plurality of web servers. The proxy server receives a first data packet directed to a first web server of the plurality of web servers from the user device. The first data packet includes a first synthesized address associated with the first web server. The proxy server identifies a first actual address of the first web server. The proxy server replaces the first synthesized address in the first data packet with the first actual address of the first web server. The proxy server further forwards the first data packet to the first web server using the first actual address of the first web server.
