The turn worlders in 'Nam have banned Facebook.

How do I get around this?

Using a proxy?

How can I use a proxy, if it does work?

Thanks to anyone who can help - I'm pretty ignorant about these matters.

Thanks.

Norton,

You're joking right?

I mean....you got the smiley icon.

Joking?

Norton · 12-11-2009, 04:04 PM

Not joking. The smiley only because DD is posting how to use proxies on a Thai forum where it is illegal.

Proxies are illegal in VN. Given the close watch they have on internet the gov may be able to detect if you are using a proxy. Vietnam is listed in the top ten in internet censorship. Have at it but for me Facebook viewing is not worth the risk even if slight.

Not really a list but censorship classifications. Pervasive (Vietnam along with 10 others), Substantial and Nominal. Thailand is in the nominal category even though certain subjects are a complete no, no.

Thank you KWilly. Beer is on me. And thank you to the poster that PMed me!

Crap like that happens when you lose a war. The proxies always worked well in Thailand, for a while they had Youtube blocked, the proxies always worked.

I can access FB, but I cannot lick into my page part where I can accept new invitations, etc.

I'll keep trying.

Cheers, again.

Milkman · 13-11-2009, 12:58 PM

I am trying to use 'hidemya**.'

It goes to the main facebook "home" under me, but I cannot lick on any uses.

Perhaps there is another proxy I can use?

kingwilly · 13-11-2009, 01:02 PM

i think firefox it works ok.

Milkman · 13-11-2009, 01:47 PM
