How to Unblock Facebook When It's Blocked

I quit Facebook over two years ago. There are people like me, and then there are also people that want to know how to unblock Facebook when it’s blocked. Whether their Facebook is blocked due to a web-filter in school or when connected to a mobile operator or whether it’s due to Facebook being blocked by the government of a country.

The reason? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you want to unblock Facebook when it’s blocked and that regardless of whether it’s blocked by a school or a government, that it's fully possible.

What You Should Know About Facebook Before You Unblock It

You probably want to use Facebook because you consider it as a great tool for communication. And it is. But be aware. Facebook has major privacy flaws that we talked about before. A few weeks later Facebook at least explains everything better.

But the real reason why you should think about whether Facebook is right for you is that Facebook is like this big source of news. And the news love to be negative because they get more traction. Except, when you watch and read the news, you choose to, on Facebook, you don’t have the choice, and because of that, it’s pretty much 24/7. A plane crash. A shooting. Seeing all of that all the time, it has a big impact on your life.

If you deal with problems, think about whether Facebook is right for you. Our blog has content about content about accessing other sites that might be blocked in your country. Perhaps those will be better for you. Telegram for example.

And if it is, great, it is a great tool for communication without a doubt. Unless you are living in the likes of China and the rest of your family is living in the United States, as Facebook is blocked in China making technology that’s meant to help with communication absolutely useless.

Unblock Facebook When It’s Blocked Not by the Government

Work, school, library, your internet provider, and so on. If you want to unblock Facebook when it’s not blocked by the government, this process is a lot nicer.

Let’s explain.

In order to unblock Facebook when it’s blocked not by the government, you need to make the school or internet provider or whatever or whoever is blocking Facebook or any site in that matter think that you are not accessing it.

How do you do that?

Well, you can’t tell the likes of your internet provider that you are not accessing Facebook but a different site instead, but you can make what you access look like nonsense to any blocking tool.

If something looks like “nonsense,” then it’s not Facebook.

And that’s what you need.

Facebook can’t be blocked if nobody knows you are accessing it.

And that’s what a VPN also known as a virtual private network helps with.

You download our PrivateVPN client followed by connecting to one of our servers, and everything you do on the internet is encrypted with 256-bit encryption.

But the reason why it’s easier to unblock Facebook when it’s blocked not by the government is that you can connect to a server in your country with our service. We offer servers in 56 locations but make sure to check out the list to make sure your country is in it.

When you connect to a server in your country, you will be able to access everything that available in your country.

If you don’t connect to a server in your country, then you might have access to more content, or less, depending what server you connect to.

Unblock Facebook When It’s Blocked by the Government

This is an issue in China. This is an issue in Iran. And not just those.

If you want to unblock Facebook when it’s blocked by the government, you need to connect to a VPN server in a country that does not block Facebook. And that’s a big list of countries so you won't have a problem with that.

Like mentioned earlier, connecting to a server in a different country might make less content available to you. But when it comes to countries where Facebook is blocked, it will almost certainly make more content available to you.

How Do You Install PrivateVPN?

You click on the Buy button on the top-right of the screen followed by going through our 30-sec registration process which comes with a 30-day refund policy. If Facebook does not work for you, you will get a refund if you ask for it within 30 days.

After you have an account, download our client and connect with your details followed by connecting to either a server in your country or out of your country depending on where you are and what or who is blocking your Facebook access.
