Hello Thank you Juliusz and ir193 well Juliusz wrote some commands which i basicly didn't understand anything out of it. i will try appengine, it sounds so fast. but the appengine's site is blocked in iran too, so i think i'll have some trouble uploading data and such. I'm mostly looking to route my application connections as well.
