How To Make Your Facebook "faster and smooth"?! Thanks Freakterus!

If you are having difficulty accessing facebook, this solution might work for you. Affected users only.

Why? this is because it is most likely caused by one of the hop servers at “facebook-10G.hkix.net [202.40.161.110]” which located at Hong Kong Internet Exchange.

Solution

I found a temporary solution to fix the speed issue with facebook.

WARNING: YOU NEED ADMINISTRATIVE ACCESS TO DO THIS!

All you need to do is just do the following:

Windows User:

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
2. Open hosts file with notepad.exe
3. Add the following: 203.106.85.66 www.facebook.com
203.106.85.66 facebook.com
4. Save.
5. Open your browser, key in www.facebook.com.
6. Enjoy the superfast speed!

Your hosts file should look like this:# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
203.106.85.66 www.facebook.com
203.106.85.66 facebook.com

Linux/Ubuntu User:

1. Go to Application –> Accessories –> Terminal
2. key in the following: sudo gedit /etc/hosts
3. Under 127.0.1.1 , input the following: 203.106.85.66 www.facebook.com
203.106.85.66 facebook.com
4. Click Save
5. Close gedit and terminal.
6. Open your browser, key in www.facebook.com.
7. Enjoy the superfast speed!

Your terminal should look like this:

Your hosts should look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
127.0.1.1 HeHe-Haxor
203.106.85.66 www.facebook.com
203.106.85.66 facebook.com

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
