After v2.5.2, the Chrome extension supports customizing the backend server used for the redirection mode.

Run your own backend server

You can deploy urlproxy or other software to a host located in mainland China, such as Sina App Engine, to set up your server.

urlproxy has several versions for different languages/frameworks, such as PHP, Tornado and Node.js.

Please make sure you also upload the crossdomain.xml file if you are to use the PHP version. The Tornado and Node.js versions will handle it automatically.

Change the configuration of your extension

Right-click the extension icon, and then click the Options link.

In the option page, you can change the URL of the backend server for the redirection mode.

You can also test your server before saving the new configuration, or reset the backend server to the default one.
