Abstract
A router may be configured to receive a request for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) from a uniquely-identified client device coupled to the router; send the received URL to a first remote site over a computer network; receive, from the first remote site, a value to which the first remote site has associated the URL; determine whether the received value is sufficient to allow the uniquely-identified client device to access the URL; and allow the uniquely-identified client device to access the URL if the received value is determined to be sufficient and disallow access to the URL by the uniquely-identified client device if the received value is determined not to be sufficient.
