Thees solutions will route your connection to Facebook through a different network where Facebook isn&#8217;t blocked.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re at school, at work, or in a country with internet censorship, there\u2019s a good chance you can\u2019t access Facebook. The social media site is blocked by sysadmins and government officials the world over, but luckily you can unblock Facebook with some simple software.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Facebook_Is_Blocked\"><\/span>Why Facebook Is Blocked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two main reasons why Facebook may be blocked: the people in charge of your internet connection are worried that you\u2019ll waste time, or that you\u2019ll come across information they don\u2019t want you to see.<\/p>\n<p>Schools, universities, and offices <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly don\u2019t like you to access Facebook on their time as you could, in their opinion, better use that time to study or work. As such, system administrators for these institutions will block Facebook access.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of online censorship by countries, the block is usually more political. The regimes in these places are likely worried that you\u2019ll see information they would not like you to see. Examples include <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2020\/06\/18\/russia-growing-internet-isolation-control-censorship\">Russia<\/a> and China, two countries that want to curate what their citizens are exposed to online.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Blocks_Work\"><\/span>How Blocks Work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whatever the case may be, the way the block is set up is usually the same: the IP addresses associated with a site, in this case Facebook, are blocked off by whoever controls the internet connection. This means that when you try to access Facebook, you get an error when you type in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\">facebook.com<\/a> in your browser.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Unblock_Facebook\"><\/span>How to Unblock Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, the way these blocks are set up also gives you a way to get around them. Since the block is on your end, you may not be able to access Facebook, but somebody else not at your school or in your country can. You can get around a block by first connecting to another IP address which is not blocked and then accessing Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are several types of software that can do this. In this article we\u2019ll go over the three best types, which are all easily accessible for people anywhere.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proxies\"><\/span>Proxies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first option is to use a proxy. This is a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication that will run in your browser, rerouting your connection through a server. Our favorites are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hidemyass.com%2Fen-us%2Fproxy&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">HideMyAss\u2019 proxy<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fhide.me%2Fen%2Fproxy&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Hide.me\u2019s proxy<\/a> as they\u2019re completely free to use and will usually work to get you through to Facebook. They\u2019re also a good option because you don\u2019t need to install any software to use them.<\/p>\n<p>However, proxies, even good ones, come with a few downsides. The first is that they\u2019re very, very slow, so if you\u2019re on an already slow connection they might not work at all. The second issue is that they don\u2019t always get through, proxies just aren\u2019t very good at that, and many blocks have some kind of detection software.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a problem if you\u2019re at school or work, but is downright disastrous in countries like Russia or China, where circumventing blocks can get you into trouble. As a result, you may want to avoid using proxies to get past nationwide blocks or if your employer or school is particularly strict.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shadowsocks\"><\/span>Shadowsocks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The next option is a direct upgrade to proxies named Shadowsocks. This is a form of proxy connection, but is encrypted and also a lot harder to detect. It\u2019s used a lot by people looking to access the internet from China and is a pretty solid way to get past most Facebook blocks.<\/p>\n<p>The downside to using Shadowsocks is that it can be pretty tough to set up unless you install a program called Outline. Outline itself costs nothing, but it doesn\u2019t work without a server to route through. If you have access to a server of your own, that\u2019s great, but you\u2019ll usually have to get one through a VPS provider, which will set you back at least $5 per month.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VPNs\"><\/span>VPNs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The final and probably best way to unblock Facebook is to install and use a virtual private network. These handy tools reroute your connection much like a proxy does, but encrypt the connection while also hiding it. They do this to a higher standard than Shadowsocks does, even, and it\u2019s very rare that you won\u2019t get through to Facebook when using a VPN.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, a small downside to VPNs, namely that the good ones cost money. It could be as little as a few dollars per month, though the best VPNs can cost up to $100 per year. However, it may be worth the expenditure as VPNs can be used to crack all kinds of online services, including unlocking Netflix libraries and letting you torrent files in peace.<\/p>\n<p>Online you\u2019ll see many VPNs that advertise as free services, but usually you want to avoid these as they don\u2019t work very well and may actually end up stealing your data\u2014the opposite of what they\u2019re supposed to do. If money is tight, though, we go over some good free VPNs in our article where we compare them to paid VPNs.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Option_Is_Best_for_Unblocking_Facebook\"><\/span>Which Option Is Best for Unblocking Facebook?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re in school or at work, you may want to try unblocking Facebook with a proxy before trying anything else. Proxies are free and don\u2019t require installation, which is great. Shadowsocks and VPNs are better for people that can install software and are at greater risk of being caught<\/p>\n<p>Then again, if you can freely install software on your work computer, say, VPNs may be an appealing option as you can use them at work for Facebook, but at home to unblock Netflix. There are plenty of VPNs to pick from.
