Facebook Access Restricted (Bad IP) [Update]

By Jamil Arif on June 21, 2010



Sine yesterday I’ve been trying to login Facebook to look at my messages and I noticed something suspicious is happening with Facebook as it started login on other Facebook account and it login me to some Random profiles (automaticallyI think that it is due to PTCL gateway problem or might have link redirecting issue,  anyhow then I logged out and never tried to login the  whole again but this morning again found another problem (Access Restricted (Bad IP), i dn’t know what the hell is happening with the facebook in Pakistan and where are the concerning authorities,  so thought to share it with you guys. Checkout the Screenshot below and please if anyone have further information on this please let others know via comments system below.

[Update]

I emailed the facebook about the issue and after a long wait they replied…

Thanks for writing in to Facebook. We’re sorry you are experiencing problems accessing your account. There is an ISP delivering Internet traffic to certain IP addresses in Pakistan that is misconfigured in such a way that it has the effect of exposing one user’s data to other users. This affects all web sites, not just Facebook. In the interest of protecting our users’ privacy, we are blocking the ISP until their misconfiguration is resolved. We are also reaching out to the appropriate administrators to help them expedite their fix. In addition, we are working on automated ways to more quickly detect third-party network errors like this.

You will not be able to use this ISP to access your Facebook account until their error is resolved. We encourage you to contact your Internet service provider to bring this error to their attention.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thanks,
The Facebook Team

  • Ali_akber80

    That's happening with me too. Whenever I try to access FarmVille, that stupid page opens. When i fill out the boxes on that page, and click 'submit', the same damn page opens again. I changed my password on facebook, on yahoo and did a lot of other things but i still get that goddamn page. I don't know what to do. I use PTCL to access the internet, maybe they're having some problem but i don't know why they haven't fixed it. None of my friends are having that problem and i think thats because they don't use PTCL. If any of you has a solution pls tell me and all the others facing this.
