How do I use it??? > Generally, assuming you have a web service running on port 80 as usual, you can go to http://<instancename>.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/ , and it'll Just Work. For instance, I have an instance called ve-change-marking (FQDN: ve-change-marking.pmtpa.wmflabs) running MediaWiki and I access it at http://ve-change-marking.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/ .
You don't need any special setup for this. As long as the instance-proxy instance (instance-proxy itself runs in a labs instance :D) is able to connect to port 80 on your instance, these URLs will work. Note that if you're running MediaWiki on the instance, you may have to explicitly configure $wgServer = 'http://foobar.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org'; for it to work, otherwise MediaWiki may get confused and try to redirect you to http://foobar.pmtpa.wmflabs or something.
