Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer program product for providing network access control for a shared network. One embodiment of a network access controller may intercept a request to access a network resource from a browser application running on a client device associated with an anonymous user and determine whether the network resource is in a set of network destinations in the shared network. If the network resource is in the set of network destinations, the network access controller may direct the browser application to the network resource. If the network resource is not in the set of network destinations, the network access controller may redirect the browser application to a pre-authentication capture destination in the shared network. From the pre-authentication capture destination the anonymous user is free to visit any of the set of network destinations in the shared network without authentication.
