Abstract:
A method for controlling access to a network includes, with a client device, sending a request over a network to a server to determine a public logical address for the client device, determining, using the public logical address, whether the client device is connected to the network through one of a number of approved network service providers, and disconnecting from the network if the client device is not connected to the network through one of the approved network service providers.
