Abstract:
A method of permitting a subscriber access to an online server complex operated by a particular online service provider (OSP) is disclosed. An IP communication request comprised of a destination IP address and an origination IP address is received. The IP communication request is forwarded to a dynamic filtering firewall if the destination IP address corresponds to a service provided by the particular OSP. The origination IP address is compared with a table of stored authenticated IP addresses. The IP communication request is forwarded to the destination IP address if the origination IP address matches an IP address contained in the table.
