Abstract
A local server is configured to communicate with a plurality of computing devices within a local network. The local server comprises memory for storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the processor to dynamically establish a connection with one or more of the plurality of computing devices, the connection identifying the one or more of the plurality of computing devices as data relays; receive data traffic from one or more of the plurality of computing devices within the local network, the data traffic to be communicated to a destination server; transmit the data traffic to the data relays for communication to the destination server via a communication network; receive response data traffic from the data relays; and transmit the response data to the one or more of the plurality of computing devices within the local network.
