I was using some new proxies and got this warning from facebook?!

I bought some proxies from anonymousproxies.net and a few of them were bad apparently. Before I even got the chance to sign in, just on the fb login page, I was presented with this message when using the proxies:

You are trying to access Facebook from an IP (Internet Protocol) address that has been associated with a misconfigured ISP (Internet Service Provider), abusive behavior, or is otherwise not able to access Facebook. You may request to have this block lifted from Facebook by contacting us below. Please note that we're unable to reply to every report at this time, but we may contact you for more details about the issue as we investigate the report.

Anyone encountered this before?

Never had that prob. But make a list of the bad ones for yourself

Why were you using the proxies in the first place? Different ad accounts? FB may be on to you, or maybe it's just the proxies being flagged. I would ditch them immediately - obviously the specific proxies you've bought have been used before, or at least the IPs have existed before and been used, or maybe FB has blacklisted the C ranges associated with those proxies. Either way it's not a good sign, maybe FB is actively building block lists based on proxies supplied by random services.

I would email them and say something like you logged in from an internet cafe and got the message and now have been locked out. Send the email and contact them from your legit IP.

Yah I got that before. I assume someone who had that IP before did some really bad stuff to FB. Get a new proxy IP, or use a new proxy provider.

my advice....don't use proxies....

FB is on the warpath.....anything that at all looks not right.....expect problems......plain and simple.....they are getting ripped right and left from privacy advocates of fake profiles and scams being run....

and the massive amount of stuff getting thru on the ads platform....

you have to be creative when making new accounts that last.....

I just asked them to replace the bad proxies which they did with some "clean" ones.

You guys are saying don't use proxies? Can someone explain further to me? My head is a swirl of proxies, VPNs, etc. I thought I was doing the correct thing by using proxies from my city. Is it safer to use a VPN like Overplay? I have about 10 FB accounts that I need to manage. Help!

ya you can def use them.....but they can be easy to detect....and with what FB is doing by tracking you....its hard to use them correctly.....with out eventually getting caught....

so 2 things

build a better wheel...

or

expect the hammer at some point.....and prepare for it....

Do you use VPN or proxy to login into FB ? I guess FB detected your IP is not originated from the country you sign up with. I always make a point to turn of the VPN first before login into FB....FB treat fraud activity very strictly which is a good thing and annoying.

Best way to go about making new accounts on a new IP would be buying a cheap Windows VPS and using the RDP (Remote Desktop Tool) to connect and login to FB on the VPS.

I'm old school and restart my modem every time I want to log into a new account. Sure, I have no internet connection for 2 minutes, but I get a shiny brand new IP address every time.

Won't work if you're on a static IP though.
