Seems like the issue of a shared IP is moot to people running on GAE. Or at least, it's a known issue that requires nontrivial effort to work around. From my own perspective, I find the $20/mo we pay for full-time ssl and an IP address shared with 20 other domains to be a reasonable compromise. The main thing is that I don't need to set up servers (virtual or otherwise). At any rate, I'm not sure it's fair to criticize CF over this issue. At the very least, it doesn't represent any additional problem over running on GAE's shared IPs - especially now that there is porn on GAE. > Sites have been delisted after the "robot" protection blocked their access.

There are two thoughts on this, both of which should be pretty obvious. Either turn off page optimization or simply don't serve malformed HTML. We choose the later approach. The HTML minification is actually really convenient. FWIW, I don't believe this kind of page optimization is enabled by default, so you really have to trip over it. > Shared IPs have resulted in Legal Notices being sent to the wrong party. > Often (I suspect) because CF provided the smaller clients contact > information rather than the larger ones when responding to a court order.

I prefer infrastructure I don't have to maintain. Honestly, it feels like your crying customers really just needed someone competent to click the right buttons at CloudFlare. It really isn't rocket science either; the UI is pretty straightforward. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
