Abstract
The present invention is to provide a method of making a router act as a relay proxy, which is applied to a network system comprising a server of an Internet service provider, at least a router, the Internet and at least two network devices, wherein the router and network devices are connected with the server through the Internet respectively. The method comprises the steps of designating the router as a relay proxy when the router receives and accepts a relay request from the server, and directing the network devices to connect to the router designated as a relay proxy respectively when the server attempts to connect the network devices which enables the network devices to communicate and proceed data access with each other through the relay proxy. Thus, the data access with each other of said network devices may be accomplished through said relay proxy instead of said server.
