[google-appengine] Re: App Engine blocked in China, what to do?

skrit.appspot.com works, but according to our users and
http://www.websitepulse.com/help/testtools.china-test.html it's still
blocked at www.skritter.com. Are you accessing http://skrit.appspot.com
or http://www.skritter.com ?

Hi, This is Jacky from China and I'm telling you a good news:your
skrit works fine in China NOW.

There's no problem for running your application from my computer,
which is inside the GFW(so we called the wall filter informations on
internet. Yes, this is an unconvenience, but this is provided by
Cisco, an America Co., so don't complain :) )

 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/...
 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?
