Trying to monitor a couple of different Facebook pages (latest posts).

I’ve tried using a Profile - but ultimately cookies expire. So instead I’ve set up macros for the login - and then applied this with my monitor. This works well for about 2 days - and then Facebook blocks the login and I’m asked to change my Facebook password.

I’m assuming it’s due to varied IPs with the monitor?

Any tips for getting around this?

Thanks!

Hello @mywhanau, I am not sure but varied IP address can be an issue. Have you tried using a local monitor for this? If yes, did you face any problem doing that?

Hi @ajitk - thanks for replying. Actually I haven’t tried a local monitor - but purely for the reason (to my knowledge) that it requires the browser to be constantly open in the background - and with our setup, this isn’t feasible.

Got it, thanks for the update. One solution could be to add a proxy to your account that is closer your physical location. The proxy can then be used for the checks. Does that make sense?
