Facebook Login; Using Free Proxy Server or Paid Services?

July 11th, 2011

Proxy server that are often without maintenance, may encounter frequent network issues, such as poor connectivity. For most users, good proxy servers don’t consider connectivity issue as a major issues. For others, however, reliability and secured proxy server serve the utmost priority.

If proxy server is a gateway that you can use to login to Facebook, then it should be reliable to produce consistency in network connectivity, plus secured usage.

Technically speaking, when one owns a proxy server, he is also leasing a private line from a reputable service provider. Most cooperate companies and Asian travelers will purchase their own private proxy server. No doubt an amount of fee is incurred upon downloading the programs.Facebook Login Proxy

As ordinary web user like us, we may be more interested to have free proxy server, instead.

I’m sure there are many free proxy servers exist. On one note, you may have to compromise on the poor quality of this free stuff, in terms of speed and connectivity, but not giving up on the basic internet security. Password and content is your privacy, don’t you agree?

Since it’s a free proxy server, who will border to maintain and perform quality tests?

All these maintenance are beyond most web user’s capability. After all, we only want to login to Facebook to share with friends our traveling photos, status or catch up with our love ones.

Are you in the dilemma? If so, do you understand the basic difference between paid and free proxy server?

When you purchase a service from a private proxy server, those paid amount goes to the programmers, technical supports and maintenance team, whom has worked hard for you to keep their servers up and running at all time.

You are the customer; you pay them to deliver the service to you. At the peace of your mind, these experts dutifully perform their task. As simple as that.

So do I still recommend using free proxy server?

In my opinion, its about the choice from web user. If you are earning some incomes from Facebook or Twitter as a internet marketers, by all means, engage the service. Just pay a small fee to the service providers to maintained the proxy server for you. Generally, It will be more productive to channel your focus on gaining profit earnings

Or do you choose to spend time tweaking on configuration tools and proxy settings?

Oh,, you are not on business purpose? No income to pay the service? Just want to login to Facebook? Students looking for freebies? (whom I used to be in my early days.).

 

Perhaps, a Facebook fanatic wouldn’t mind forking out some cash to do it.

Certainly, as students, this situation is understandable to sympathies about paying for a proxy server. You are only a temporary users, wanting to social with friends online.

Frankly speaking, it’s a pain in the ass, especially for backpackers traveling to China or Vietnam. Facebook login is almost impossible without a proxy server.

Below is an excerpt that I have read from a traveling blog.

I can’t get onto Facebook here (China), I could if I download some program which will cost me £5 , which will then direct me to an outside server but to be honest I am not missing Facebook that much so I have no way to answer your messages.

To most internet social addicts, saying that you are not missing Facebook is a perfectly perfect white lie. (Joke aside.)

First of all, to every web users reading this post. Getting a free proxy server by your own is not at all difficult. It may be a bit of bother for searching and updating it frequently.

As a novice traveller in Asia countries, I have successfully log into Facebook using free proxy server is possible.

Till next blog, I shall be sharing on How to search for free proxy server. How to use them, identifying the right and secured server. And some basic technical terms that is explained in simple meaning.

Another good reason is that there is no installation of any unknown programs needed, therefore, minimizing potential threads of malicious virus, spyware or malware. And no coding file necessary or memory hogging.

Login to Facebook Using Proxy Server

Above all, its free and safe!

Follow below simple steps that I have concise it. Settings are applicable to only 2 type of browsers on Windows Operating Systems. Namely, Windows Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

Settings For Windows 7:

  1. Click the “Start” Orb at the bottom left of your computer screen.
  2. Right above the “Start” Orb, you see “Search programs and files” with the cursor placed on the input box.
  3. Type “inetcpl.cpl” into the field and press “Enter” to bring up Internet Properties window. (It’s advisable to remember this command that reduced 10 tedious steps before this).
  4. On the top menu tap of Internet Properties window, select Connections.
  5. Click on “LAN settings” button located at the lower_right_corner. A new window appears as “Local Area Network (LAN) Settings”, illustration below.
  6. Check the box “Use Proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)” (Uncheck to resume to original settings)
  7. Enter the Address and Proxy as show in the illustration below.
  8. Finish with clicking “OK” to close all windows.
  9. Start surfing to https://Facebook.com/login.php.

Important: With the above settings, logging in to Facebook.com will prompt you with some security questions. This procedure is necessary for verification on your FB account, as proxy server designated below are from S. Korea. Meaning, you are virtually surfing the internet from that country.

So at the end of the security questions, FB will show the location. Simply click “This is OK” to accept and proceed to use Facebook.com.

Are you already on full access to Facebook.com now? Yes? Isn’t this magical?

Now, you may have some questions right now, such as How proxy server works? Am I surfing on anonymity mode? How the proxy server is being selected and why it is safe to use? Will my password be stolen?

First off, please put all this doubt aside. That specific proxy that you are using is safe and on high-anonymity. You are owning the best options at your own upmost advantage, as mentioned from the beginning. What is there to lose? Smile

However, please follow up with another post to answer the above questions, and feel free to comment and share opinions on this post.

PS: If you are traveling in Vietnam right now, be sure to use it with social responsibility, despite Facebook.com being banned by the official authority. And if you are on public PC, do resume back to its original settings after use.

Log in to Facebook using Anonymous Web Proxy

March 4th, 2011

Below showing another alternative to log in to Facebook.com. I have been using this anonymous web proxy for a a period of time. Also known as web re-directors.

There are too many anonymous web proxy you can find. Some comes with annoying advertisement, where it starts to pop-up while you surf to Facebook.com. I would recommend KProxy.com

It comes with free and paid services. Free proxy is what I often go for, however, users have to compromise on the slower speed. Occasionally, server busy due to high usage traffic. If that happens, do a hard refresh by holding Control+F5. Or simply F5 to reload pages.

As you can see on the tagline “KProxy works great with Facebook. We have fixed it at nearly 100%. Test it!”. I personally experiencing  surfing through this proxy with moderate satisfaction. Mainly the reason is because its free. Otherwise, you may tried the paid services.

While using this site, you have to take note. Always use the SSL/TLS protocol to provide encryption and secured login to Facebook . Meaning, ‘http’, with the ‘s’ Secured; (i.e is “https://”). Apply it on Kproxy.com and Facebook.com

The 2 links as below. Follow the print-screen shown above.

https://kproxy.com/index.jsp

https://facebook.com/login.php

Hope the above will temporary help for those facebook surfers in HCM city.

Free to comment on the feedback of using this proxy at your end.
