Another way to access the website would be through the utilization of a Facebook proxy. The term proxy as it relates to social networking websites such as Facebook has two meanings but the meaning we are most concerned with in this article is the proxy that allows you to access the Facebook website in spite of a block.
Rather than working to remove the block and therefore allow you to access the website by typing the URL into your browser, the proxy concept is quite a bit different. It attempts to circumvent the block and actually keep the block in place. This is done by accessing the Facebook service through a different server. This server, referred to as a proxy server, is a server that is not easily identifiable as being a Facebook server (and indeed is not owned by Facebook) and therefore is difficult to block with the software most companies and schools use
When you consider all of the different options available to people today, it seems almost futile that people would attempt to block Facebook and other social networking websites. In a way it really is futile, since technology grows so quickly that there are almost always going to be ways to circumvent blocking mechanisms. Whether some of these services will always remain free however, is a different matter entirely
