Our app, Skritter (id skrit), teaches Chinese characters. It's become a big pain that skritter.com, which is hosted on App Engine, is blocked in China. It was unblocked for a couple weeks, but is now blocked again.
skrit.appspot.com works, though (with a couple minor issues related to HTTPS login trying to return them to skritter.com). We've been telling users to go to the appspot domain instead, but most people will just see 404 at skritter.com and never return. According to this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/c83a316d28eb8ea7 one user worked around this a couple months ago by setting up nginx as a reverse proxy. Is that the only way to solve this issue? I've tested a few sites in the app gallery to see if they're blocked in China, too, and some were, but one wasn't; I don't know if it's using another way, isn't directly hosted on App Engine, or is also doing the reverse proxy thing. Since we don't have another server, is EC2 the logical choice for setting up nginx? Are there plans to fix this issue on Google's end? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
