I don't think you will have the problem if your Proxy passes the appropriate headers. Also, I don't remember where it is, but there is a Google WhiteList for Proxies not tied to AppEngine that is used for Schools and large businesses who get blocked on the Google Homepage for too many users for one IP.

And then falls out of compliance. I see. In fact, I don't use CloudFlare and have no plans to use it. I'm concerned with the possibility that when my nginx reverse proxies get suddenly banned by some overzealous DoS protection mechanism, it will cause many hours of downtime before someone from Google can manually fix it. That's why I'm requesting the whitelist feature. Problems like that happen periodically. False positives are hard to avoid completely when trying to draw the fine line between legitimate and malicious traffic. > Sorry if I’m cold hearted, but -1 for “help my free app run even more > free with a free RCP” doesn’t seem like a priority. Honestly tried to understand this part but failed. What does RCP stand for? Rich client platform? Perhaps the big blue font makes me more stupid. Also, I'm not sure why free apps are an issue at all, because originally I thought mainly of paid App Engine apps. If someone is paying to host their reverse proxies somewhere, they definitely can afford some $9/month for App Engine. -- Alexander -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
