Setting com.cn as a serving domain for Google App Engine application via Google Apps?

[Balázs Benedek]

Hello,

I've just tried to set a xxxx.com.cn domain name via Google Apps as a serving domain, but failed: "Google Apps does not currently support domains in this country" (it's already registered -- I just wanted to map it)

Any experience? Any workaround? LIke setting up a proxy via Amazon? Whatever? Anyhow?

Thank you,

Balazs

You can try using Cloudflare's reverse proxy service: http://blog.cloudflare.com/top-tips-for-new-cloudflare-users . Map the domain to Cloudflare, and the proxy will handle forwarding requests to App Engine.

Hi Vinny, 

Do you know of any documentation/tutorial on how to do this, re: using Cloudflare as a reverse proxy for an appspot subdomain?

I tried to do this using a cname record on Cloudflare but it didn't work for me...

I don't think there is any tutorial out there; at least I couldn't find one with a Google search. Your best bet is to contact Cloudflare support; they can help set it up for you.

Make sure you're using a CNAME record for a subdomain (for instance, http://www.example.com versus http://example.com )
