How do I unblock Facebook from my School Laptop?
Well my Laptop that I got from school, that I take home because it's a take home laptop won't let me go on Facebook, and normally when you connect it to a home wireless you can access Facebook and Twitter, and all those social sites. And then all of a sudden it's not working, what can I do? HELP ME! I can't live without Facebook. Please and thank you

Facebook is usually blocked on school networks because it distracts students from school work. Schools may also block it on school laptops for the same reason. School laptops are provided for school work, not social networking, bubble shooting etc.

The school owns the laptop - and has every right to limit what you are allowed to do on it. If they have put a block on Facebook, you just have to accept that. If you can't live without Facebook, you will have to buy your own computer.

If you have a smart phone or andriod then you can just use that? If not try a proxy site like owlfudge.org/net or something like that.

You can live without Facebook!
It's such a bad distraction. I deactivated it when I was revising for, and doing my exams. It only causes trouble. |

There is a huge risk in using free proxies and VPN’s. Many of these free proxies and VPN's are what are called hacker pots. They are there waiting for you to fall into their trap so they can steal your personal information, login credentials and plant bots on your computer. Once a bot is planted the hacker has control of your machine and can steal credit cards, attack web sites and send out tons of spam all from your IP address. This is a huge “business†and cannot be underestimated as not being able to happen to you. Millions of computers around the world are likely infected in this way.
Some of these free proxies and VPNs are run by people out to simply make money and not by hackers. There is nothing really wrong with that in principle. However, the best case here is that you will get a proxy loaded with advertisements with no real speed to it. The amount of money the owner can make with advertising clicks is really only pennies a day per user at most. So when they tell you that they are paying the bills based on advertising it’s not possible. Many of these owners supplement their income by key logging everything you do and selling your personal information to advertising companies and data mining firms. Some very well known free VPNs and proxies do exactly this and make a lot of money in the process. Your personal information is worth a lot more than what they could make with just clicks on advertisements. Companies all over the world pay premiums for information targeted to individuals which show their likes and dislikes. This can easily be determined by following your web surfing habits and recording everything. Unfortunately for you, the global databases with your personal information keep growing as you use them. Before you know it anyone with the money to buy the information can get a complete profile of you and your thinking, your buying habits, opinions and more. These databases never go away and will follow you all your life. Since you have no way to know what the owner is actually doing you need to assume the worst case is true and avoid these free services. |
