I wrote this post during the time when Facebook was blocked from Pakistan. However if you can’t access Facebook from school computers or from college then you can use the tips mentioned below to unblock school computers.
Because of anti-islamic activity carrying out in Facebook with the excuse of “Freedom Of Speech”, the government of Pakistan decided to block Facebook access in Pakistan along with the ban on Youtube.
Some of the pakistani people are surely missing surfing facebook badly but no worry, there are several ways to access facebook while it is blocked or banned.
Using proxy unblocker:
I have tested several proxy site to use facebook but most of them doesn’t works properly except a few of them.
http://www.vtunnel.com is the only place which supports full flexibility while browsing facebook. They also have SSL encryption version, https://www.vtunnel.com
You may also find http://www.kproxy.com/ helpful.
Some other proxy site are:
Using Software like Ultra surf:
It is a small and lightweight software which allows you to surf via proxy. Tutorial on how to set up ultra surf is given here: Setting Up Ultra Surf
Your Freedon is another software like ultra surf which bypass restrictive firewalls and filtering web proxys impose by government or ISP. You can download the free version from here
Hotspot Shield is a 100% free software which acts as a shield to protect your identity and hides your IP thus allowing access to contents which are blocked or censored. This software creates a virtual private network (VPN) between your PC, laptop or any other devices and their (Hotspot Shield’s) internet gateway; in this way they provide a shield which prevents hackers, ISPs from watching any of your activity like chatting, downloading, your location, credit card password/information or any data you send over the network.

My view on Freedom Of Speech
I have no objection on freedom of speech but it does not necessarily have to be like insulting other religion or people of that religion or initiating hatred between nations. Freedom of Speech can be expressed by some other way rather than drawing a cartoon of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
