#END COPY
*** Re-made to allow live up date on page refresh. Please go to http://www.armabloggin.com/facehost.php
Paste everything between (and including) #Valid 22/06/10 through #END COPY (everything in red)into your HOSTs file.
This will "map" or "instruct" the computer to reach FB every which way used to reach the myriad parts of the FB wasteland.
Accessing HOST in Mac
< https://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/ … x-leopard/ >
Remember, make a copy of host and rename with a .ORG suffix. If you screw up, simply copy the HOST.ORG and rename.
And use a basic editor, one that can't format text.
Example of Extended Host File

If you don't know how or feel unsure, find someone who does.
Lengthy HOST files are common when you use computers for very specific purposes. I have a similar "document" that blocks FB - impossible to beat.
The above is used in China to leap the Great Firewall.
How it works (simple version)
When you enter the URL "www.FaceBook.com" in to a browser it shoots off to a special computer which converts your "www.FaceBook.com" into addresses of four groups of three digits (leading 0's can be omitted) which are actually used to locate FB.
The mapping above saves this task AND bypasses the most common ways of blocking access which simply use "www.FaceBook.com".
Neither I, nor this web site, take responsibility for any mistakes you make. Losing a HOST file is not the end of the world, they are easily regenerated using the no frills editor (Notepad in Windows).
The other method suggested above, in other posts here, is really an unsophisticated method which can still be blocked as the old "www.FaceBook.com" is used.
