I assume a proxy server doesn't work for remote Facebook access? (6)

I assume a proxy server doesn't work for remote Facebook access?

I'm seeing a fair number of threads from people discussing how best to access remote servers via TeamViewer, VNC, etc, for the purposes of controlling their Facebook accounts via a different IP.

It occurs to me that setting the same VPS you'd be using to access Facebook up as a proxy server might be a more user-friendly way to do this. You would still appear to be accessing FB from a different IP, but it'd be a lot less of a pain in the ass.

However, the fact that this isn't standard practice suggests to me that it doesn't work. Can anyone tell me if this works or not? I'm assuming that using the common paid proxies won't work - Facebook will be on to them - but does using a custom, just-for-you proxy server do the trick?

If it does, I can do a tutorial on setting a VPS up as a proxy, and thus save everyone the keyboard-mashing frustration of trying to do complex tasks via a remote graphical interface...

I would love a tute on how to do that. How fast could you put something like that together?

Just curious, why paid proxies would be different than your own hosted ip/proxy server. wouldn't facebook eventually ban those ips too?

Is something not like https://www.astrill.com/ good to use, and buy a seperate private IP with it?

I bought a private IP with Astrill located in NL where I am based. Soon I am going on holiday and want to login into my Fb ads account, will I be save doing so using that private IP?

Going through IP's like made during my CL days, I'd be willing to bet that no way data center proxies will work on FB either.

Yes non data center proxies will work.

Heck you can tell when using what you think is a great VPN or Proxy on PayPal triggers a security check.

Best is DSL in a major city with the ability to rotate ips in seconds.
