Abstract

A controlled content system for providing a controlled and contained environment that is remotely accessible is disclosed. A third-party application on the end user device is modified to allow certain sites and services to be mediated in a mid-link server. The app uses policies to know when to access the mid-link server for the controlled and contained environment. Policies can specify the type of processing performed on the mid-link server. Some embodiments support the app selectively using the mid-link server for mediated sites and services. A mediation switch of a mediated program of the third-party application determines whether the network packet traffic is mediated through a mid-link server using the policy cache. The mediation switch includes algorithms that determines the mediated network packet traffic based on one or more parameters.
