Client-independent network supervision application

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory including instructions to cause the processor to perform the steps of:
• receiving a monitoring request, from a first network user, to one or more monitor network clients for network activity;
• identifying a wireless access point suitable for monitoring network activity of a group of additional network users associated with the first network user;
• collecting network activity information for at least a first portion of the group of additional network users, the network activity information relating to network activity of the first portion of the group of additional network users through the identified wireless access point;
• providing the network activity information to the first network user using the identified wireless access point;
• receiving a network resource address from the first network user;
• intercepting a network resource request from at least one network user in the group of additional network users;
• identifying the at least one network user as being associated with the group of additional network users;
• in response to identifying the at least one network user as being associated with the group of additional network users, redirecting the at least one network user to the network resource address by providing a redirection response message including the network resource address to the at least one network user.
