How to UnBlock Facebook (FB)

I unblocked FaceBook.com (FB) on my laptop computer, which has the Linux derived Ubuntu 10.04 operating-system (OS), instead of Bill Gates' Microsoft Windows, Unix, or Apple operating-systems. I did not unblock Facebook (FB) on Windows, but instead on Ubuntu.

Most computers use Microsoft Windows, which is an operating-system (OS) that runs programs on computers. 


Different ways to unblock FB that work for me:



1. TOR: 

Google for this program. I had this proxy-browser a few months ago on a different laptop. On this new laptop, today, I tried downloading this program and was not able to. Some of the websites are not online currently and others seem not to work. I am not sure why, but it use to work a few months ago.



2. Hot Spot Shield

Google for this program that works on Windows, Ubuntu, and other operating systems. However, it comes with ads that pop-up, which is why I do not use this.




3. Download  TOR

Maybe I did get TOR to work or maybe I changed the DNS server or something. Here is what I did, as follows:

Try to use Tor Browser. To install Tor browser (tor browser isn't same with tor bittorrent client), open terminal (Ctrl+All+T) then type these commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/tor sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tor-browser
