Facebook Banned In Syria. How To Undo The Ban.
November 20, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui
Apparently the regime in Damascus has banned facebook. Gladly, it’s easy to get around that ban.
When Syria started banning websites, I wrote an entire post on how to undo the ban. But you don’t have to read the entire thing. It all boils down to two techniques. If one fails, the other will work.
1- Go to a “proxy website” like hidemyass.com and type the URL of the website in their box.
2- Install a small program in your computer that will make you invisible. (Download it Here or read How it works)
Done!
PS: If you read this and managed to browse to facebook, please spread the word on how you did it. Perhaps you can start a facebook group named “browsing from Syria”
