SAVE 49%: Quickly and easily unblock Facebook with ExpressVPN. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN(opens in a new tab) is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


There are two reasons you might not be able to access Facebook: You could be connecting from a country that blocks or censors the app, or your workplace or school might restrict access to preserve bandwidth or remove distractions. There are also two ways to bypass these blockades, but one is much better than the other.

You can unblock Facebook with a VPN or free proxy. The trouble with random proxy networks is that they may only be free because they are selling your data to the highest bidder. VPNs also provide faster connection speeds, as random proxy servers are usually clogged up with heavy user traffic. What we're saying is that VPNs are the best way to bypass online restrictions and retain access to platforms like Facebook.

VPNs can unblock online platforms and services by running your data through an encrypted tunnel and hiding your IP address. This process might sound complicated, but it's actually really quick and easy:

  1. Sign up for a VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in a location that supports Facebook

  4. Visit Facebook and use the app from anywhere in the world

ExpressVPN is the top choice for bypassing online blockades due to its strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, intuitive app and interface, helpful live support, and up to five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN also has a robust privacy policy, so your data is protected at all times.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN(opens in a new tab) is on sale for £81.38 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Thanks to the money-back guarantee, you can unblock Facebook and then recover your investment when your usual access is restored. In this way you can unblock Facebook for free with ExpressVPN.
