Question:What are proxy servers..?

Answer:In computer networks, a proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. 

Question:Why we used proxy servers..?

Answer:We used proxy servers to surf anonymously and to open blocked websites.Like:sometimes in our office or college websites some websites are blocked and we used proxy servers to open blocked websites.And to surf anonymously we used Proxy Servers. 

Question:is there is any way to create Proxy Servers..?

Answer:Yes,We can create our own proxy server easily for free.Follow the below steps to create your own proxy servers.

Step 1:Visit to appengine.google.com and login using your Google Account.

Step 2:Now click the “Create an Application” button. After clicking Google will send a verification code via SMS to your mobile phone number. Type the code and you’re all set to create apps with Google App Engine.

Step 3:Pick an Application Identifier and it becomes the sub-domain* of your proxy server. Give your app a title (say Proxy Server), set the Authentication Option as “Open to all users”, agree to the terms and create the application. (screenshot)

Step 4:Now that we have reserved the APP ID, it’s time to create and upload the proxy server application to Google App Engine. Go to python.org, download the 2.7 Installer and install Python. If you are on Mac, Python 2.7 is already installed on your computer.

Step 5:Download this zip file and extract it to your desktop. The zip file contains a couple of HTML, YAML and Python (.py) files that you can view inside WordPad.

Step 6:Go to code.google.com, download the Google App Engine SDK for Python and follow the wizard to install the SDK on your computer. When the installation wizard has finished, click the “Run Launcher” button to open the App Engine Program.

Step 7:Choose Edit -> Preferences inside the Google App Engine Launcher program from the desktop and set the correct values (see screenshot) for the Python Path, App Engine SDK and the Text Editor (set this is as WordPad or write.exe and not notepad.exe).

Step 8:Click File – > Add Existing Application under the Google App Launcher program and browse to the folder that contain the index.yaml and other files that you extracted in Step 5. Once the project is added to App Engine, select the project and click Edit to replace “YOUR_APP_ID” with your App ID (screenshot). Save and close the file.

Step 9:Click Deploy, enter you Google account credentials and, within a minute or two, your online proxy server will be deployed and become ready for use (screenshot). The public URL (or web address) of your new proxy server will be your_app_id.appspot.com (replace your_app_id with your App Engine Identifier).
