How to Set Up a FaceBook Proxy

Some networks require authentication and submit data to a rigorous security analysis before allowing the traffic to pass out to the Internet. If your organization does not let you access Facebook and you require a proxy to do so, one can be configured from within Windows.

Instructions

1. Open the Start menu and click "Control Panel."

2. Click "Network and Internet," then select "Internet Options."

3. Click, the tab item, labeled "Connections."

4. Click "Lan Settings" and place a check mark in "Use a Proxy Server For Your Lan."

5. Enter the IP address and port of the proxy in the "Address" and "Port" fields, then click "OK."

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't know your proxy login information, consult your network administrator.
