The Best Facebook proxy for Work

No Comments »

annoying boss at workOk, so the boss is out and you want to waste some time. I'm not judging – I've been there. But you've YouTube and Facebook are blocked.  You're going to need a proxy.  Using a proxy at work is pretty common these days – bosses are always trying to keep you on task, and block all your normal time wasters like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Vimeo, MSN, and other chat/social networking sites.  They do this with a firewall.

To get around the firewall, you're going to need that proxy!  A proxy for your workplace firewall works like this.  It "redirects" your traffic through a computer server outside your office firewall.  Normally, your work firewall would block computers on the network from accessing sites like Facebook by recognizing and blocking communication between your network IP and the Facebook IP. However, with the middle-man proxy server, you're no longer surfing the network on your REAL IP address. You're now using the proxy's virtual IP address, so you'll be able to access any blocked sites – not just Facebook.  These are the basics of how to use a proxy at work, and the same principles apply for any place with a firewall blocking websites.

proxy for facebook at workNow there are software based proxies (ie you have to download and install) and web based proxies.  You want the second kind.  The main reason is that you don't have to install anything, so there's no traces of you using the proxy.  To access Facebook at work, just click the secure link from your email inbox (or the proxy site), and type your banned URL into the secure browser.  When you're finished, close the browser, and you're done. That's it.

A web based proxy has another big advantage for Facebook users at work – you can use it on any computer or phone.  Because there's no installation necessary, there's nothing stopping you from using it on your iPhone or Android, your personal laptop or your friends, you boss's computer or a public computer.  It's all the same!  And that's beside the fact that it's effective and quick to start up and close down.

Ok, enough explaining. So what's the best Facebook proxy for work?

SecuriTales

proxy for workThere's a number of reasons SecuriTales is the best Facebook proxy for work. Ok, five reasons.

  • 1. Free Trial
  • 2. 30 Day Money Back Guarantee
  • 3. Fast Connection Speed
  • 4. Professional and Secure
  • 5. Inexpensive

Ok, I realize that number 4. and 5. sounds like marketing ploys, but to be honest, having a professional and secure proxy is important, especially for the workplace.  Proxies are pretty easy to set up, and especially some of these "free" proxies have the reputation of abusing your IP information for sending out spam and tracking your online activity.  Getting a proxy service you can trust, and that can provide you with a secure connection to access Facebook at work is important.  On top of that, the monthly fee they're charging is much cheaper than other paid services – remember that some IP changing tools charge upwards of $20 USD per month.

Take a look at their site www.securitales.com and at least take advantage of their FREE trial.  You can even try them out for a month, and get your money back if you don't like it!

Facebook Proxy Sites That Work

No Comments »

facebook proxy sites that workThere are many schools, workplaces, and even entire countries where people do not have access to Facebook.  For some people, it means just another boring day when you'd rather jerk-around on Facebook. For others, it means losing contact with friends and family while abroad.  Blocking Facebook is done in the same way as any other site. And blocking sites at work and school is no different than banning websites in China or Iran.  It's done with a firewall, and the best way to get around a firewall is with a proxy.

Problem is that a lot of the proxies out there are plain crap.  When I first found out how proxies can bypass firewalls, I spend a lot of time searching for Facebook proxy sites that work.  Sure, I found some, but even though they worked, they were slow.  Most of them were free, but I'm sure thousands of people were logging in simultaneously, slowing them down.  It seemed that I was spending more time looking for Facebook proxy sites that worked than actually surfing Facebook. What a pain in the ass.

I think the thing that kept me help back for so long was that I was afraid to pay to unblock Facebook.  Lots of stuff is free on the internet, and why should I pay for something that was free to begin with. I soon came to realize how cheap it can be to pay for a Facebook proxy site that works.

securitales facebook proxy site that worksI now use a service called SecuriTales. It took me a while to warm up to idea of paying a monthly fee for this, but I looked at it like this. I've got to go to work every day.  And every time the boss is out, I like to open up my personal email, play chess on Facebook, and watch videos. Ok, I like to waste time. Whatever, don't judge me.

The point is that I use it every day. Even if just for a couple minutes, I do use it.  SecuriTales only charges you $4.5 USD a month (after the discount which I'll show you how to get in a sec).  $4.5 dollars a month is 1.5 cents a day.

1.5 cents a day

That means if I use it twice in one day, it's less than a penny for each time I check my Facebook account when I normally wouldn't be able to.

Now that is AWESOME

wasting timeI'm just some guy with a blog about China – heck, you might not even be in China.  But if you're looking for a Facebook proxy site that works, there's really nothing better than SecuriTales.  Think about all that time you'd waste looking for a reliable, fast, and free proxy – isn't it better to just pay 1.5 cents and start now?

Or would you rather browse broken links in forums, risky proxy services that might spam your IP address, and deal with tons of adverts for hours on end in search of that perfect, FREE Facebook proxy site that works?

I'd pay the 1.5 cents for instant satisfaction.


I guess I don't have to do too much convincing because they offer a FREE TRIAL and a 30 day money back guarantee, so there's pretty much ZERO RISK in trying it out.

Oh yeah, and the discount.  Once you finish the free trial, they'll give you an offer for a 25% discount if you sign up immediately.  If you wait, you'll pay the full price ($6-$8 per month).  If you sign up for a year of service with the 25% discount, you end up paying $54 USD for the year, which works out to $4.5 USD per day.  Do the math!

As least try it out for FREE at www.securitales.com

Proxy For YouTube In China

No Comments »

My Story about getting a proxy for YouTube in China

Working for another country was my greatest desire in life, but there are of course going to be some cultural differences to overcome. In this case, I was found out too late that sites like Facebook and YouTube were blocked in China.

I applied for work while I was still out of the county for an English teaching company. There were of course vacancies, as there isn't just a huge demand for English teachers in one place in China. The whole country is learning. I thought that it was a good idea – learning a new language, getting some life experience, and leaving that boring old life behind.  I only realized after I arrived that YouTube and all the other social sites were blocked in China. It was a strange concept to me, internet censorship – what was the big deal about YouTube and Facebook anyway? Whatever the reasons, I had to look for a proxy for YouTube in China.

Getting a good proxy for YouTube in China was very easy. I had friends in the new school who had been in China for a while, and they said that people here generally used VPNs and proxies to unblock sites. So I automatically knew that I wanted to get one too.  I only planned to be here for a year or so, and I didn't want to lose contact with friends and family back home. Even Gmail is blocked sometimes here!  But did I need a VPN or a proxy to unblock sites?

I did a bit of research, and without getting into too much detail, this is what I found out.

proxy for youtube in chinaVPN for YouTube in China

  • Can only use on laptop or desktop (SSL/OpenVPN)
  • One license per computer
  • Encrypting and Tunneling data protection
  • More reliable and secure than proxies
  • Software and applications work with VPN
  • Unblocks Hulu, Netflix and BBC iPlayer

Web Based Proxy for YouTube in China

  • No installation
  • One license for multiple devices
  • Does not unblock Hulu, Netflix, and BBC iPlayer
  • Works on laptops and phones
  • Cheaper than VPNs
  • Can use at work and school without "footprints"

As you can see, they're two very different devices.  For me, I because I usually access YouTube, Facebook, and these sites on my iPhone (as well as at home), the no-installation and more than one device per license features pretty much sealed the deal for me. I know that proxies are less secure in general, but I considered three things

  1. I'm not doing anything illegal or "bad", so I don't care if someone tracks my internet activity
  2. Even though they're less secure than VPNs, they're still more secure than nothing at all
  3. I'm just browsing the internet and streaming video – no P2P, no torrents, no gaming, and I rarely download large files or run software that's blocked in China

free trial proxyThis has happened to so many people out there and many have not got any solution at all. From my experience, I can say that proxies really work in breaking firewalls created in order to bock certain sites.  If a proxy can do battle with The GFW, I'm sure proxies can beat any work or school firewall too! 

The proxy for YouTube in China I still use today (three years later, and still in China) is called Securitales.  There are a couple things that make Securitales a good choice.

  • Professional service
  • Unblocks all sites blocked by The GFW
  • Has proven to be a long-lasting, trusted service
  • It's cheap ($6 per month)
  • FREE TRIAL
  • 30 day money back guarantee

If you've seen any other proxies services out there, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say that they look and work pretty unprofessionally. Lots of web based proxies available in China are just  a single page with a place to put your URL and a big bold sign that says "unblock sites HERE".  Do you know who runs the proxy? Are there Terms and Conditions? Do they promise not to sell your email or abuse your IP address data.  Will they be around next week? There are a lot of variables. Securitales has been around since 2009 when these sites started getting blocked in China, and even in March 2011 when tons of VPN services started faltering in China, Securitales maintained their service at normal speed.

So why waste time looking for a proxy for YouTube in china when you can get better access, faster connection and with no-stress reliable service by using Securitales?

This is the best proxy I have come across so far, and I've been in China for what seems like FOREVER.
