How to Find a Proxy for Facebook
A proxy is a sever which you use to access a website or software application. When you access a website, such as Facebook, through a proxy sever, your personal information is protected because it appears as if the proxy is accessing the website instead of yourself directly. Your location, IP address and information about your computer remain private.

Use Facebook as normal. Once Facebook has loaded on the proxy server, you can browse, communicate and download applications just like normal. All features remain available and your identity is safe from potential hackers.

Go to Facebook using a proxy when Facebook is blocked. One of the most common reasons for using a proxy to access Facebook is to get around firewalls at universities, work offices and public computers that sometimes block Facebook. By using the proxy you can still access Facebook even if it's blocked.
