Besides?Hyk-proxy, GAppProxy is also a great proxy tool based upon GAE, and it is also easy to install and use.

I. How to install GAppProxy

The installation of GAppProxy is quite easy, just 5 steps:

Step 1. To create a GAE application

Same as?Hyk-proxy, log in your GAE account and create an available application ID, such as “freenutsdotorg” used for this post.

Step 2. To download and install Python and Google App Engine SDK for Python

If you haven’t gotten these two softwares on hand as mentioned?before, you can download Python on its?official website, and download Google App Engine SDK for Python from?Google Code.

After that, install both of them.

Step 3. To download and extract GAppProxy clients and fetchserver

On the?Downloads?page, there are two versions of GAppProxy clients, one is “localproxy-2.0.0.zip” for any operation system with Python installation, and the other is “localproxy-2.0.0-win.zip” for Windows operation system only. And there is only one version of fetchserver, “fetchserver-2.0.0.zip”.

After downloads, extract the zip files.

Step 4. To edit the app.yaml file

Open the “app.yaml” file in the fetchserver folder, and change the application name “your_application_name” to your new GAE application ID, such as “freenutsdotorg”, then save the file.

Step 5. To upload fetchserver

Open the CMD file, and use below commands to upload the fetchserver folder and its files to your GAE account:

appcfg.py update fetchserver-2.0.0

For example, if the location of the fetchserver folder is as below:

D:\gappproxy\fetchserver-2.0.0

The commands to upload it to GAE will be like those in below image:

During the process, you will need to enter your Gmail username (visible) and password (invisible), and when the process finished, you will see something like that in below image:

II. How to Use GAppProxy

After installation, the usage of GAppProxy will be very easy.

1. How to use GAppProxy with localproxy-2.0.0

If you have download the “localproxy-2.0.0.zip”, open the proxy.conf file of the extracted folder, and change the last sentence:

#fetch_server = http://your-fetch-server.appspot.com/fetch.py

to below sentence:

fetch_server = http://freenutsdotorg.appspot.com/fetch.py

Remember to remove the “#” symbol and replace “freenutsdotorg” with your GAE application ID.

Then, open the “proxy.py” file, and change your browser http proxy to below address:

127.0.0.1: 8000

You can refer to?this post?for how to set the http proxy on Firefox browser.

After this, you are able to use GAppProxy to visit any blocked websites.

2. How to use GAppProxy with localproxy-2.0.0-win

The GAppProxy client localproxy-2.0.0-win is for Windows system only, and the usage is nearly same as localproxy-2.0.0.

You just need to change the fetch_server name and remove the “#” symbol, then run the “proxy.exe” and set your browser’s http proxy to 127.0.0.1: 8000.

That’s all about how to install and use GAppProxy, hope you enjoy it and get access any blocked websites with it.

Google App Engine Launcher上传工具或者是命令行更新appcfg.py update实在是不好用，常常出现莫明其妙的问题，更新后也不能马上看到效果。Google了一下，找到一个第三方工具SDUpload（点击下载），不需要配置Python和GAE SDK运行环境，试用了后感觉很好用，推荐。

??? 使用方法：在命令提示符下执行：SDUpload update sdblog
??? 其中：SDUpload为程序名；update为更新或上传的命令；sdblog是程序所在目录。
??? 可不带任何参数直接执行SDUpload查看详细命令参数。
