      Re: Block social but allow facebook

      I saw the previous post on this same topic and was just wondering how I can get facebook working properly. pfBlocker is setup and working well, and I'm just looking to whitelist facebook. When I add .facebook.com to the whitelist, I gain access to the site but all the elements and content are still missing (see below). Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

        @RYknow I don't use Facebook but have unblocked a few streaming sites.

        It's pretty easy. Just use the whitelist tools in pfBlockerNG. Run an update after each whitelist session. This is just a guess, but I think it won't take very many addresses to unblock it.
