Because GAE isn’t hardened when you aren’t running it on localhost, (and even though you can bind it to an outside IP)… I would recommend that you setup a local Reverse Proxy to bind to your outside IP.  Even a Reverse NAT with Firewall would be a better setup than exposing GAE to “the world”

hi, i tried with that url python,which u given server running at ip.but when i tried to test with that its not working same issue came again,

how to setup local reverse proxy to achieve this.

It is only available for command line? I am using java in eclipse with GAE plugin, I have modified Configurations but I have this message when I try to run it: Usage: <dev-appserver> [options] <app directory>

Options:

 --help, -h                 Show this help message and exit.

 --server=SERVER            The server to use to determine the latest

  -s SERVER                   SDK version.

 --address=ADDRESS          The address of the interface on the local machine

  -a ADDRESS                  to bind to (or 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces).

 --port=PORT                The port number to bind to on the local machine.

  -p PORT

 --sdk_root=DIR             Overrides where the SDK is located.

 --disable_update_check     Disable the check for newer SDK versions.

 --generated_dir=DIR        Set the directory where generated files are created.

 --jvm_flag=FLAG            Pass FLAG as a JVM argument. May be repeated to

                              supply multiple flags.

some idea?

You can add the specified parameters directly to the arguments in your run config. (Run -> Run Configurations , Web Application ->  Project, Arguments tab, Program Arguments)

For example, 

--port=8080 -a 0.0.0.0 /Users/nick/Documents/projects/project/target/project-1.0-SNAPSHOT
