Proxy server (Facebook): Facebook-specific proxy settings

Hands on with putting a proxy server over Facebook

Recently, a lot of friends asked how to make a proxy server for Facebook, saying that the account is always blocked or slow loading. This thing is actually very simple, with the cell phone film almost the same, the key to choose the right tool. Let's take ipipgo's proxy service as an example today, and teach you from scratch the whole job.

Why do you have to use proxies?

First of all, you have to understand that using a proxy is not for you to make things happen. For example, if you open a hot pot restaurant at home, and suddenly a bunch of takeout orders come, the property may think you are disturbing the public. At this time if you use the agent, the equivalent of letting different riders from different neighborhoods to pick up food, not only to keep the business but also will not cause trouble.

Here's the point:

• Prevent accounts from being misplaced (especially if you do cross-border marketing)
• Solving slow loading/inoperable situations
• Multi-account management without crosstalk

How do you pick the right agent?

There are thousands of agents on the market, but the one for Facebook has to be about three things:
1. Must be a legitimate residential IP (not an entire server room IP)
2. Low network latency (not more than 200ms)
3. Support for the HTTPS protocol

Here is a plug, ipipgo's dynamic residential packages are the most stable when tested. Their IPs are taken directly from local carriers, which is much more reliable than those second-hand sublet ones. I have a friend who is a cross-border e-commerce company, using the standard version of the dynamic package, at the same time tube 50 numbers are not overturned.

Specific configuration steps

Take a Windows computer for example, follow along below:

1. Go to the ipipgo website to get an API extraction link.
2. Open Control Panel→Network and Internet.
3. Click on Proxy Settings and turn off auto-detection.
4. fill in the manual proxy settings with the IP and port you got.
5. Remember to whitelist your Facebook domain name.

If you use a client, it's even easier, just drag and drop the configuration file into it. Note for Apple users, you have to select "Configure Proxy" → "Manual" in WiFi settings, don't use auto mode.

Common Rollover Scene Handling

Q: I can't open Facebook even though the proxy is connected?

A: Ninety percent of the protocol is not selected correctly, the HTTP to HTTPS try. If you still can't, go to ipipgo background to change an IP segment, sometimes the line in a specific area will be pumped.

Q: What should I do if I am particularly slow in uploading pictures?

A：Prioritize static residential IP, although more expensive, but the speed is stable. Remember to set the "data compression"Turn it off, this feature can be a drag sometimes.

Q：Accounts suddenly require cell phone verification?

A: Disable the current proxy and switch back to local network authentication. It is recommended to bind the overseas virtual number usually, don't use the domestic cell phone number.

What's the best way to get the best value for your money?

Beginners are advised to start with the standard version of the dynamic package, use how much to buy how much is not wasted. If you do live broadcast or video transport, directly on the static IP, do not save this money.

Say something from the heart.

The agent is the same as wearing shoes, fit is the most important. ipipgo has the advantage of being able to test before you buy, we recommend that you first jack a trial package. Their customer service response is quite fast, the last time I ran into technical problems at two o'clock in the middle of the night, there are actually people on duty to deal with.

Lastly, remember to clear your browser cache after setting up the proxy. If you are able to do so, use a clean browser and don't mix it with the ones you use everyday. Don't panic when you encounter problems, 80% of them are small configurations are not adjusted properly, try a few more times and you will be familiar with it.
