Claim 10:
11. A system comprising a processor, the processor configured to perform operations comprising:
selecting a remote device, amongst a plurality of remote devices coupled to a host machine at a datacenter;
establishing a communication network between a local machine of a user, at a first location, and the host machine at the datacenter, the datacenter being at a second location, remote relative to the first location;
executing a browser on the remote device, wherein the browser comprises a URL exclusion list, wherein the browser does not forward URL access requests when the URL access requests are on the URL exclusion list of the browser;
generating a replica display of the remote device on the local machine of the user;
streaming a video feed of a display of the remote device to the local machine of the user;
displaying the video feed in the replica display;
capturing user interactions with the replica display on the local machine of the user, wherein the user interactions comprise a user URL access request to access a host server;
transmitting the user interactions to the remote device through the host machine;
receiving the user interactions at the browser on the remote device;
detecting when the user URL access request is on the URL exclusion list of the browser;
in response to detecting the user URL access request on the URL exclusion list, modifying, with a browser extension, the user URL access request, wherein the modification comprises replacing the URL in the user URL access request with an alias URL, wherein the alias URL corresponds to the IP address of the host server;
entering the modified user URL access request in an address bar of the browser on the remote device;
issuing the modified user URL access request from the browser on the remote device in the datacenter; and
routing the modified user URL access request from the remote device in the datacenter to the IP address of the host server.
