Proxy computer system to provide direct links for bypass

A method for providing a proxy service for a third-party network service, the method being implemented by one or more processors of a network computer system and comprising:

• implementing a proxy service;
• retrieving content requested by a client computer from a third-party network service;
• parsing the content to identify a plurality of links including a first link to a first target resource and a second link to a second target resource;
• determining to structure the first link using a direct link structure;
• determining to structure the second link using a proxy link structure;
• based on determining to structure the first link using the direct link structure and the second link using the proxy link structure, generating modified content comprising (i) a direct link that includes an absolute domain address of the third-party network service that enables the client computer to bypass the proxy service and directly retrieve the first target resource from the third-party network service, and (ii) a proxy link that enables the client computer to retrieve the second target resource via the proxy service implemented by the network computer system;
• and
• providing the modified content, comprising both the direct link and the proxy link, to the client computer to enable the client computer to directly retrieve the first target resource by bypassing the proxy service and retrieve the second target resource via the proxy service.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network computer system, cause the network computer system to provide a proxy service for a client computer to utilize a third-party network service and perform operations that include:

• retrieving content requested by the client computer from the third-party network service;
• parsing the content to identify a plurality of links including a first link to a first target resource and a second link to a second target resource;
• determining to structure the first link using a direct link structure;
• determining to structure the second link using a proxy link structure;
• based on determining to structure the first link using the direct link structure and the second link using the proxy link structure, generating modified content comprising (i) a direct link that includes an absolute domain address of the third-party network service that enables the client computer to bypass the proxy service and directly retrieve the first target resource from the third-party network service, and (ii) a proxy link that enables the client computer to retrieve the second target resource via the proxy service implemented by the network computer system;
• and
• providing the modified content, comprising both the direct link and the proxy link, to the client computer to enable the client computer to directly retrieve the first target resource by bypassing the proxy service and retrieve the second target resource via the proxy service.
