Lost Access to Facebook – Proxy Leak Issue

I lost access to my Facebook account because the proxy I used leaked my real IP address. Facebook noticed the unusual activity and disabled my account. The proxy wasn’t secure and exposed my location. This is a reminder to always use safe, leak-free proxies when managing your accounts. If you know any reliable, leak-free proxies, please share your recommendations.
u can create proxies for yourself on AWS. It free
 
You gotta really test them before fully committing and using them higher scale jobs.
 
switch to a better proxy. It's more expensive but worth it
 
You’re right, I learned this the hard way. I’ll focus on using better, trusted proxies from now on.

Find a quality proxy to maintain and secure your assets.
 
Aren't VPNs datacenter IPs too? But fb works with vpn.
Yeah, VPNs are datacenter IPs too. And FB definitely sees them- protocols, patterns, everything. My take? FB knows exactly who is using what. They just choose to let it slide… until they don’t. If you’re in the game long enough, you’ve seen those waves- silent bans, sudden purges. No warnings, no logic, just cold cleanup.
 
That’s a tough lesson, but a really important one. I had a similar issue before, one bad proxy exposed my real IP and the account got flagged instantly. Facebook doesn’t mess around when it comes to location inconsistencies. It’s a good reminder that investing in solid, leak-proof proxies is worth it in the long run. Would definitely appreciate any recommendations from members here who’ve found stable providers

Yeah, we are entering a bad era IMO.

I raised it a while ago in a separate thread and most people deny an ip leak by proxy, other than Webrtc and DNS leaks.

Rotating proxies are intended for accounts accessed by several users. If you're the only one using your Facebook account, you should stick to a static proxy instead.
 
Use residential proxy services (like Smartproxy, Bright Data) or secure VPNs (like Mullvad, Proton VPN) with IP leak protection and regular checks to avoid detection and account disabling.
 
Just lost an account because of a fake proxy that leaked real IP. Choose a real secure proxy to last long and minimize risk. Can you tell me what kind of proxy you are using?
 
Yah, sometimes you don't know why the account is disabled, and turns out that it's from the 1st step - proxy that logs in to fb
