A system for mediating Internet service includes a DNS server and a DNS policy engine associated with the DNS server. The DNS policy engine can be configured to apply one or more DNS policies selected by the DNS policy engine to DNS queries received by the DNS server from a client, analyze the DNS query based on predetermined criteria, and based on the analysis, and selectively redirect a data request associated with the client to a proxy server for further mediation. The system can further include a proxy server and a proxy policy engine associated with the proxy server. The proxy policy engine can be configured to apply one or more proxy policies selected by the proxy policy engine to at least one of data requests received by the proxy server from a client and data responses returned to the proxy server from an IP address.
