FB Guide To PUBLIC Proxies

OK Folks...
A Lot of people, myself included have been running into major issues with FB mass banning proxies; and thousands and thousands of private proxies have been rendered useless on FB.

Some of you may have found that your favorite FB toys are still working on public proxies, but have also been extremely annoyed about the speed, timeouts, and failures. Not to mention, that many public IP's have also been banned by FB, likely due to them being used and abused after appearing on various lists.

Here is a huge step in the right direction for those needing to work on FB using public proxies.

First you will need a list of recently scraped public proxies. You can use a list harvested from scrapebox, proxyscraper, [insert your tool here], or even a list shared here on BHW.

Next you will need a nice little tool to test your proxies called Charon. You can download it free from the creators here:

Next you need to have all of your proxies you wish to test in a .txt file. Load your text file into Charon.

Now click on the "SITE OPTIONS" button on the left hand side. google.co.uk is the default site it will use to test your proxies against. Replace this with a FB log-in URL!

Now highlight all of the proxies in your list and right click to choose test.

The program will now test all of the proxies in your list against the FB login URL, from here you can filter them and copy your successes into your favorite FB tool.

I really hope this helps a lot of people, because it's certainly saving my ass right now! Please click ""THANKS"" if you found this info helpful.

currently back up and running with FW and proxies manicured from the above method...
stats right now on fw are 268/587 with 214 successful posts... definitely slower than I'm used to, and not as high of a success rate, but back in business none the less, with free public proxies

Charon is a great tool, but your explanation is weak, no offense.

General Options and Scan Options should be pretty much set when first opening the tool.

Connection Settings should be pointing to outside judges if you want it done more accurately. 5 random judges working at the time of this post are (and should be loaded into Judge Options):


Timeouts generally should be below 14, you can set the Retry to whatever you want. I generally only Retry once.

Filter Options are for blocking crap, probably default settings are fine for starters.

Site Options, in this case Facebook, should have a success key as not mentioned above. This is essential so Charon knows if the proxy reached the page correctly. Your URL is:


Your success key can be anything on that page, but here's what I'd use:


Click Check Proxies -> Check anonymity of all proxies. Generally about an hour after running a few thousand proxies you should have a decent amount not yet banned by Facebook.

When it's finished, you may have to force the "STOP". Click Filter List -> Filter dodgy/duplicates/gateways. Then Right-click -> Delete -> Delete all apart from good, working proxies.

Save the list. Fresh public proxies.

thanks tukim,
I planned on swooping back through to add a lot of that detail (wanted to make sure I had FW and FFAP crackin the whip first), but I must say you detailed it better than I likely would have written, so again, thank you.

No problem, great share. I use this tool every day and have brushed shoulders with Rhino online a few times. He writes some great programs.

Just to be clear, we only want to save and use the ones that were good under the "site" column right Tukim?

umm what about proxys that require userassword?

that would totally depend on if the app you are using them with supports loading proxies with that format

Just to follow up on using this method in FW and FFAP... naturally these publics are much slower than private in most cases, but i've yet to have an IP ban on a public that passed the charon test before use, and it seems less accounts are getting disabled as well.

this is still working for me... but i miss the speed of private proxies... anyone here on BHW offer proxies that are facebook safe?

Great post by my man Gimme.The.Loot!

Keep up the good work bro!

I have the same question. The proxie says good after filtering but under "site" column alot of them said bad. Does that mean its a good working proxie just not good for fb?

Yes, once you run the check all for anonymity, filer out dodgy/duplicates/gateways. Then sometimes I have to click filter again and just select remove gateways...

THEN I sort the list by the site column, highlight all remaining ones that passed the site test, and save selected to .txt to be imported into your tool of choice!

That's making this work even better! I wasn't doing that last step correctly- fabulous update.

Yup, exactly right Gimme.The.Loot. I found on another thread buried deep about "site". I did some prelim testing and looks ok. Scraping a new batch now and will do some heavy testing tonite. Hopefully get back up and running. Thanx for a great thread.

very good idea. much needed at this point that is why fb cant keep us down hehehe

Update. I scraped over 20k proxies...didnt mean to just walked away and came back and thats what I had. I loaded 2k into charon which if I did the whole txt file would have taken a bit to long so I just stopped at 2k. Out of 2k I got like 600 good but only 30 said good under "site" and only 5 said good "site" n good "connect". My question is what does "connect" mean?

Yes I can rtfm but Im on a short learning curve here as I have people waiting on me, well my team I post for and already closed all my threads I found. Dont want to go back and search again. After all IM is about compressing time frames so if somebody knows what "connect" means much appreciated.

Once I have this all figured out I will post everything I did and the results. I am going to test it asap but dont want to burn alot of fb accts doing it if somebody knows the answer. Takes too long for us to make the accts......ie Organic.

where did you scrape from? i usually have a somewhat higher success rate than that. also, once I filter, all i look at is the site column and the score, I keep site good with scores 70 and above...
and i still havent had an IP blocked from this method, likely because they'd be screwing a lot of people who just want to use FB regularly, since these are not private proxies.

Thanks gimme! I personally use proxy switcher, it's a really noob friendly program, but I wonder if it's worth buying. There are no cracks for it and that's fine but I don't know of any other programs out there that do what it does all in one package. I'm downloading charon to see what it's all about. And I'm keeping my eye out for more info on this FB crackdown, scary shit but part of the game...onder:

That's a good method for getting proxies, never heard of Charon before, thnx OP!
