Should I Use a Proxy to Access Facebook?

Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites today used by over 65 million of people online who want to share their stories, upload pictures and connect with friends, new and old. Members connect and talk about just anything under the sun. It has became a favorite past time, if not an addiction for others, to log in and post their daily activities in the pages of the most sought after site by users, young and old.

Unfortunately because of its popularity, business owners and educators consider it a distraction for students and employees at work. Concerned about company profits, entrepreneurs need employees to focus on their job for productivity and efficiency. They often choose to block Facebook and other social networking sites from their networks, disappointing many avid fans and users.

Another interesting yet puzzling issue I’ve heard about is that in some countries, such as Syria and Iran, Facebook is blocked completely from their citizens. Allegedly, social networking sites promote attacks and criticisms on the government. The penalty for criticizing the government of Syria is imprisonment. It seems that for some users, it is quite a luxury to be able to make comments and post your opinions online. Freedom of speech is lost in these countries.

Something lost, something found. Still looking for something to help you access Facebook? I found the perfect solution to the problem of all blocked out users out there. Presenting, the Facebook proxy! A proxy is a server or a computer outside the influence of your network. It allows users to essentially bypass the firewall that has been put into place by administrators in your company network, school’s free web service or country. It is a portal that relays the any user to the requested site bypassing any restrictions set by a particular network.

Of course, promoting the use of a proxy does not mean we encourage bad habits. If you are unproductive at work, then, you, probably, don’t deserve the job at all. We stress only on the necessity of being able to practice your freedom without being counter-productive, or simply just being able to practice it all. Freedom is, after all, absolute. Making the right decisions, on the hand, is entirely up to you.

Yes, proxies allow you to unblock Facebook and other websites you want to visit. You can find a number of free proxies online. Most are easily downloadable from their source sites. Some sites, though, charge for proxy services. Other source sites require subscription and service quality may vary on applied rates. Members receive more updates and assistance offered compared to non-paying clients. Some sites do offer a free trial period for their proxies. Just make sure to use one that has been tested and proven by most users by checking out user recommendation and ratings, whether you choose to avail a subscribed proxy service or just use or download one for free.
