I hate their new lockout system. I'm a frequent traveler and run my business from my laptop. FB is a great way to keep connected to other travelers you meet and your friends back home while being on the road. But because I'm often in a new country every few days, let alone a new city, I get my FB account locked a few times a week. It's a huge pain in the ass.
Here's a thought for a new FB revenue stream: I'd pay them a monthly fee not to ever lock my account again. How sad is that?
- almost 16y agoYou may already know this, but just in case here's a solution for you, get a VPS from Linode and proxy off it. You don't need to set anything up, just use the -D flag to ssh to open up a SOCKS proxy. It's like this form OSX or Linux: ssh -D 8080 your.vps.ip You now have a SOCKS proxy running on 127.0.0.1:8080. You can do the same thing using Putty on windows (it's in one of the settings tabs). Side benefit is that you can't be snooped on by whoever owns the WiFi.
- acabal 16y agoI didn't know that and that's actually incredibly useful. Thanks!
