Recommending FoxyProxy for Facebook

March 30th, 2012

As far as proxy server for Facebook login is concerned, I should also recommend FoxyProxy. This is an extremely useful browser plugin tool for Firefox browser, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.

If Facebook login is as important as your daily dose of caffeine in the morning, then FoxyProxy will be you right companion. It is lightweight, low-memory usage and its free!FoxyProxy

Credits goes to Eric H. Jung who created this plugin.

So before you continue to read on, you may have this 2 immediate questions:-

1) Is FoxyProxy the ‘gateway’ to Facebook login?
2) Does FoxyProxy provide free list of proxy server?

The answer to both questions is “No”. Not a gateway, and no free proxy servers.

This tool is a plugin for browser. The main purpose of FoxyProxy works as a connection switcher by your chosen proxy servers. Meaning, you must have your list of proxy server.

What’s the buzz? Isn’t it just another plugin? I think its more than what one might has thought.

FoxyProxy helps to reduce all the inconveniences of setting proxy server one at a time. It is a multitasking tool to apply more than one proxy server at a time.

A simple descriptions for this plugin tool, “connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns” thus, reducing “manual process of editing (browser’s)settings ...”

So where to get free proxy servers? Some can be obtain here. Having said there, FoxyProxy does provide paid service for reliable, high-bandwidth proxy servers.

Therefore, its a matter of being exclusively taken care or be a free-willy to google your own proxy server.

My only usage is basically for Facebook login. Below an excerpts of description from the download link for Firefox plugin.

FoxyProxy is a Firefox extension which automatically switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns. Put simply, FoxyProxy automates the manual process of editing Firefox’s Connection Settings dialog. Proxy server switching occurs based on the loading URL and the switching rules you define.

Is this tool require very technical skill to configure or settings?

In my opinion, this is not difficult to use. Once you get the hands of it, you will like it more.

One Blog Post per Week is not Demanding

February 5th, 2012

It’s has been 2 years this blog exists. A personal blog including post about internet, Facebook, proxy and traveling web user.

All this while, this blog has been growing upwardly and persistently trying to post at least once per week.

One Blog post Per Week

That frequency is not demanding, however, considered as the minimum amount of regular post. How I hope I can blog almost everyday, 365 times a year. Or even 3 times per week.

Talking is cheap. Action speaks louder than words. I better stick on to my effort to post weekly.

This blog has 3 sub-domains. Sad to say, I would be tearing down the content soon and just focus on this http://Cyperwin.com.

That doesn’t mean lesser content in future. If my thoughts and hopes are elsewhere, it is impossible to set my focus steadily toward my blog post required.

There is another reason why I choose to have weekly post. Before saying more, I ought to emphasize as a valid reason, not a lame excuse.

I’m having 2 other blogs, i.e. http://PhotoPortraitPainting.com and http://ColorPaintingArt.com

PLUS… one more which I have just registered. It took me quite a while to consider having this new website blog. It will be a journal of my years spending in another South East Asia country.

I will be relocating to Taiwan, Tainan city. A beautiful country, rich in culture and friendly people.

Taipei city is the capital of Taiwan located in northern region, whereas Tainan is the oldest city in southern Taiwan.

Presently, I’m trying to spend time organizing the new website. I will be sharing the web address soon.

If you know about Tainan city in Taiwan, do share your thoughts by adding your comments. I would love to read them and learn from you.

How To Select Proxy Address

January 17th, 2012

There are endless numbers of proxy address available as free. I often use to login facebook while traveling in Vietnam.  Before we proceed to the free proxy list, I will have to share with you the basic of how to select proxy address.

Proxy Server, Basic concept

Proxy Address is a numeric label assigned as an intermediary gate to the desired website u be visiting. This label also called proxy server used for settings described here.

Choosing the proxy address can be determine by 3 basic filtering components. Namely, proxy type, proxy port, and proxy country.

Below technically describe the terms.

    1. Proxy Type ~
      • The level of anonymity for user. There are:-
        • Non-anonymous proxy server. For casual surfing of webpages. Example: Google search.
        • Anonymous proxy server. With certain degree of anonymity for web surfing. Example: Facebook Login.
        • Highly Anonymous proxy. Highly secured and for elite user. Example: Yahoo mail login.
    2. Proxy Port ~
      • Act as a listening channel to consolidate all internet request. Both proxy port and proxy address work in pairs, relying on each other to function or connect properly.
      • Most common proxy port is 8080, supporting web address with protocol beginning with “http://www…” and “https://www…”. The latter protocol is SSL; short for Secured Sockets Layer, a protocol for encrypting information over the Internet.
    3. Proxy Country ~
      • Location of proxy server. For example: If your physical location is in Vietnam, you might one to choose a proxy address located in Germany or United States. Virtually, you are also identify as one surfing from that chosen location. No concern if you don’t have any particular preference.
      • However, the security of Facebook Login will detect your login as an unidentified user of different country. Do not panic, just login and answer all the security questions by Facebook.

Here is another simple way of explaining above terms.

Let say you are an online seller.  You have to deliver the successfully sold item to your buyer by the chosen courier service. Or you could be a wholeseller delivering branded goods to supplier (intermediary gate) who later distribute (serve) to his customers living in smaller towns. Product could metaphorically refer to sending your internet requests as a package.

Before delivering your product to supplier’s address (Proxy Address), you need to know:-

  1. the province or country (Proxy Country) of the buyer’s residency you are sending to, and
  2. the shipping port (Proxy Port), airport, seaport or post office to consolidate all incoming goods.
  3. the degree of securing the product (Proxy Type). E.g. special packing, registered-article or just a simple plain mail.

Once you understand these 3 basic requirements, you may proceed to select your own proxy address that works for Facebook Login.

Try filtering the 3 components to search for the desired proxy address usable in Facebook Login.

Looking for Useful Proxy Listings for Facebook Users

January 4th, 2012

It is truly possible, no installation program is required to setup a proxy, so that one can login to Facebook without issues.

Login to Facebook using proxy does extensively help many users to easily access the popular social media, especially when facebook is blocked in some countries.

Among many posts I have written and published in this blog, this particular one has come to my attention that I need to further clarify the purpose of it.

If you are googling for keywords like “facebook login proxy”, you bound to receive search results of my blog with this specific post. Yet, one may not find a definite solution after reading in. The proxy Address and Port on the print screen has failed to function.

The purpose of that post is to provide a guide on How-to setup, and not What-in Facebook proxy. I have received friendly anonymous mails asking me for proxy list. As a typical facebook user, just like many geeks out there, I find my proxy address using search.

Some websites do provide free listings, however, some tag along with a premier cost. Well, that is fair enough to reason as: if one pay peanuts, one will get monkeys.

For coming weeks, I will be sharing some good sites which provide proxy listings.

Any of the sites you are using and want to recommend?
