How to Install and Use Hyk-proxy

As a GAE web application, Hyk-proxy is powerful for you to get access those websites blocked in China or some other countries.
As mentioned before, you need three softwares to use any GAE web app, and below are the detailed steps for how to install and use Hyk-proxy:

I. How to install Hyk-proxy

To install Hyk-proxy is easy, just a few steps:
Step 1. To create a GAE application

Sign in your GAE account and add an application ID which is available.
Step 2. To download Java and Google App Engine SDK for Java
If you haven’t gotten these two softwares on hand as mentioned before, you can download Java on its official website, and download Google App Engine SDK for Java from Google Code.
Step 3. To download Hyk-proxy server and Hyk-proxy client

You can download Hyk-proxy server and Hyk-proxy client on the Hyk-proxy Downloads webpage.
Step 4. To extract and install the download files
Extract the zip files you download and install the Java client.
Step 5. Deploy Task
Open the install.bat file in the hyk-proxy-server folder, define the location of the Google App Engine SDK for Java folder, then you will see a window like below:

The AppID should be the GAE application ID you have created, the AppLocation should be the location of the War folder in the Hyk-proxy server directory, and the Email and Password should be same as your GAE’s.
Click the Deploy button when all information is correct, if everything is going on well, you will see “Success” in the column of Tasks execute Details.
Step 6. To add GAE application ID to Hyk-proxy client

Open the startgui.bat file in the bin folder of the Hyk-proxy client directory, click the Config button on the pop-up window, add your GAE application ID as AppId, and remember to click the Apply button.
You can add more than one AppId.

II. How to Use Hyk-proxy

When the AppId is added, you can just click the Start button, and the Hyk-proxy will run like below:

But the Hyk-proxy will not work when your GAE application ID is blocked, in that case, you can try below two ways:
1. To connect Hyk-proxy with GTalk

On the Connection configuration, enable XMPP, add your Gmail address and password as an XMPP account, then you can connect Hyk-proxy with GTalk.
Of course, you can also connect Hyk-proxy with other XMPP accounts.
2. To connect Hyk-proxy with http proxy
If you are running other proxy servers on your computer, you can also Enable Http Proxy and add the server port, such as below:

127.0.0.1: 8580

This http proxy is for Freegate, and you can see how to set the port from the above image.
When the connection is workable, configure your browser’s http proxy to below address:

127.0.0.1: 48100

For Firefox browser, the setting will be as below image:

For other browsers, the http proxy settings may be a little different.
That’s all about how to install and use Hyk-proxy, if you have any problems or questions, please leave a comment.




翻墙软件 Hyk-proxy 的版本从 0.86 升级到了 0.90。

经过试用，我发现新版本在速度上并没有什么改进，并且对 Https 的支持仍然不是很好，但是有两个地方变化很大：

• 一是客户端 startgui.bat 变漂亮了，但是也花俏得可以；
• 二是可供下载的东西一共有 10 个，令人不知道下载哪个好。

尽管 hyk-proxy 不尽如人意，但是用它来看 YouTube 视频还是比较快的，比自由门要顺畅。
关于新版本的安装方法，Hyk-proxy 官方网页有提供详细的教程，并且是中文的，但是如果觉得教程有点难度，那么你也可以参考以下的简单使用方法：

首先，下载 hyk-proxy 压缩包
到官方页面下载 hyk-proxy-0.9.0.zip 文件。
其次，解压缩下载文件
将下载到的 hyk-proxy-0.9.0.zip 文件解压缩到任意目录。
接着，打开客户端
在解压缩的目录里面找到一个叫做 “bin” 的文件夹，然后打开里面的 startgui.bat 文件。
然后，运行客户端
在打开的客户端上，点击 “Start” 按钮。
如果你建立了自己的hyk-proxy应用，可按下图设置id

 如果没有建立，gui将自动选择公用的fetchsever，但是流量和速度得不到保障。

最后，设置浏览器代理
将浏览器的代理服务器地址设置为 “127.0.0.1”，端口设置为 “48100”。
这样就可以使用 hyk-proxy 翻墙了 —— 当然，事先要确保你的电脑安装了 Java 软件。
