SOURCE IP ADDRESS TRANSPARENCY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Systems and methods for source address transparency in a communication network include a proxy server and an IP gateway in which the proxy server receives a traffic flow from an end-user device and determines a source address for the detected traffic flow; the proxy server further creates a virtual interface corresponding to the end-user device from which the traffic flow was received and uses the virtual interface for that end-user device to exchange data between the end-user device and a designated web server. The virtual interface sends the traffic flow to the designated web server using the source address that is the same as or a variant of the source address for the end-user device from which the traffic flow was received.
