Welcome to the gae-reverse-proxy wiki! This is the very first gae application for me.

Motivation

There is lots of proxy to anonymize user. This application is NOT for anonymous/forward proxy.
The goal of this project is to provide reverse proxy for home hosted using resources of google..

Here is why.

• GAE does not let me to produce complex images I want to, on the fly using PIL.
• It is very hard to buy reasonable resources for reverse proxy/CDN to serve all over the world by buying hosting service, but easy to buy computing power to serve all world via GAE.
• I want to use MySQL or PostgreSQL, not big table.
