Yes and no. You can try using VIP SSL to get an IP address not blocked by the firewall, but be aware that the IP is subject to change: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/ssl#virtual_ip_vip . There's no telling if or when the virtual IP will change to a blocked address. Also, it's always possible for those IP addresses to be blocked in the future; it's easy for anyone to look up the owner of an IP range via ARIN<https://www.arin.net>. For example, here's the ARIN record for the IP range containing 8.8.8.8 (Google public DNS): http://imgur.com/oF7IOwk ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
