For many of us, words like DNS, proxy and VPN are familiar due to the difficulties of logging into Facebook from inside Vietnam.
At Saigoneer, we are aware of this problem and have found a few solutions to help you easily and consistently access Facebook no matter your ISP or location.
In this post, we will ignore changing DNS servers or using proxies because we simply don't like them.
One fool-proof solution is brought to us directly from the makers of Cốc Cốc - the Vietnamese Google. Using the new Chromium-based browser, Cờ Rôm+, you can connect directly to Facebook without having to constantly fidget and change settings.
For us, the most elegant way to ensure consistent access is to change the hosts file. Here's a link of how to do it depending in your OS.
Copy and paste the following into your hosts file to make the magic happen:
173.252.100.26 facebook.com
