Hello Tor-Dev Community,
GAE(Google App Engine) uploader has just released v1.0-beta. GAEuploader enables clients to set up their own private meek-google in one easy step: just run it and paste the bridge line into Tor Browser.
Background information: Meek https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/meek#Overview is pluggable transport that uses domain fronting. Meek-google got suspended https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2016-June/041699.html, but clients can set up their own Google App Engine app and configure their Tor Browser accordingly. However, the process of creating and deploying the Google App Engine can be confusing. GAEuploader significantly simplifies this process for clients.
I would really appreciate user testing on GAEuploader. You can download it at: https://github.com/katherinelitor/GAEuploader/releases README: https://github.com/katherinelitor/GAEuploader Tor wiki page, containing step-by-step screenshots of how to use: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GAEuploader
*GAEuploader runs on Mac or Linux, but currently does not support Windows. *GAEuploader uses the Google Cloud SDK https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/#linux. If you are interested in how GAEuploader works, the README contains the list of commands that were run.
If you have any questions, feedback or bug reports, please email me at katherineli.tor@gmail.com. I will respond promptly.
Best, Katherine Li

I would like to echo this call for testing. GAEuploader automates the process of uploading the meek code to App Engine. If you already have a Google account, it's pretty easy: the program will open a browser so you can authenticate and accept the App Engine terms of service, then upload the code under a domain name you choose. At the end, GAEuploader prints out a bridge line to paste into Tor Browser.
The difference between this and the old meek-google is that the App Engine code you upload is just for you, not shared with anyone else.

Hi Katherine,
Thanks for this project, it's great to have automated personal meek deployment.
I have questions about the compute/zone zone3 and --region=us-central settings:
Is this the cheapest zone/region for computation or bandwidth?
If I am not in the US, would it be faster or cheaper for me to use a local google data center?
Which tor bridge does the traffic for these instances go through? (Or does this set up a tor bridge as well?)
