In a step C, it may be determined that the URL associated with the network location access request includes a secondary URL. In a step D, the URL database may be accessed that contains categorized URLs and it may be determined that the client is restricted from accessing the secondary URL. In a step E, the action may be provided in association with the network location access request as a previously uncategorized proxy website when steps B, C, and D are all met.
