When talking about the best Facebook proxy,Open and Paid Proxies - Which is The Best Facebook Proxy Articles there's a couple of things to take into account.  For one, there is no, "one", "best" - there are  just different qualities based on how much you pay (if you pay anything) and when you get access to it.  Here's what I mean.If you're going to access Facebook with an open proxy, then you've got to know that these aren't that great to begin with.  Don't get me wrong - they work - it's just that there's a couple of issues with them.  The IP addresses from a proxy server are constantly changing, and proxy servers themselves are always moving - being taken up and taken down.  That means to find a reliable proxy server, you've got to have a reliable source find them for you, or spend some time each session looking for one.  This reliable source could be in the form of a website or paid software.Second, open proxies servers present a number of dangers, including getting spammed, spied on, or having your IP hijacked by someone on the network.  Though there are millions of users that use open proxies every day without a problem, these types of security breaches are possible, and do happen.  No one can guarantee your safety.But they're free, and no one can beat that. A good site to get started is Hide My Ass.  They've got a list of proxies organized by age, anonymity, and location.  Though they can't guarantee the quality of the server, or the safety of your IP, its a pretty good list and its available for no cost at all.Now if you're talking about paid proxy services, then you've got a good chance of finding the best Facebook proxy in terms of speed, safety, and reliability.  Some proxy services own their own servers, which mean they can check for malware, assure you of the administrators who run them, maintain them for speed and maximum bandwidth ability, and even provide you with support.  You'll probably find that these services will provide you with a secure web based proxy that will choose a server at random.  By accessing this security encrypted web page you'll be able to access Facebook and other blocked sites from behind most firewalls.
