I have been having some fun working with Google appengine recently. Just for the fun of it I decided to see if I could use it to build a reverse proxy service.

After searching a bit I found the it had already been done by others. So I picked up a copy of mirrorr source code and modified it to better suite my taste. There is still quite a bit left from the original code but I did rewrite the transformation.py engine quite a bit.

The resulting free proxy is still a bit rough on the edge but quite decent to use I think. Running on Google app server make it as fast as using the real one.

You can find the gree proxy at netputing.appspot.com.

I hope the revenue generated by the adsense advertisement will allow me to scale it to the level that will make it self sustainable. You see, Google offer limited resourced for each appengine account. To get more in/out bandwidth you can buy more of it as you need.

It will be interesting to see how things evolve.
