Facebook Access Restricted (BAD IP): What Is The Solution?
Since yesterday, I have been unable to access my Facebook account on my iPad. I can browse other websites on the same iPad but anytime I try to open from the Safari browser and Opera Mini for iPad, I keep been redirected to a page displaying “Access Restricted (Bad IP)“. Facebook app and MyPad app for iPad are also not working.
Below is the actual message being displayed whenever I try to open the Facebook site:
Access Restricted (Bad IP)
You are trying to access Facebook from an IP (Internet Protocol) address that’s associated with a misconfigured ISP (Internet Service Provider) or abusive behavior. If you think this is an error, please tell us more.
Surprisingly, I can access my Facebook account on my laptop using the same Glo network, whose data plan am also sharing with the iPad.
I searched on Google for help but noticed similar questions posted on Yahoo Answers yesterday. So, I think there is a problem with Facebook or my IP address falls in the range of IPs recently blacklisted by Facebook. If blacklisted, I hope it will be OK in a week because I read somewhere online that minimum days of banned IP address is 7 days.
While I wait for Facebook to resolve the issue, I am accessing my Facebook account on my iPad using HideMyAss and HotspotShieldVPN for iPad. You can try them in masking your IP address for now.

Facebook Access Restricted (Bad IP) prompt me!
Hi guys, I need your help. This is my first time I encounter such problem when logging to FB. The prompt says “You are trying to access Facebook from an IP address that’s associated with a misconfigured Internet Service Provider or abusive behavior. If you think this is an error, please tell us more. ” Does it mean that my PC was blocked to access FB by IT department since the PC that was blocked is in my office?

Most likely FB has blocked access from your work’s ISP because they are getting lots of fraudulent posts or login attempts. This does not mean that your employer is doing this. It could be another customer. I suggest that you do not attempt to access your FB account from work as you, personally, don’t want to be associated with such an issue.

Chunghwa ISP + Facebook: Access Restricted (Bad IP) – Reddit
Anyone with Chunghwa ISP being blocked from accessing Facebook due to a “bad IP”? I’m trying to determine if this is an ISP-level issue or something specific to my home network. The Facebook error message is:You are trying to access Facebook from an IP (Internet Protocol) address that’s associated with a misconfigured ISP (Internet Service Provider) or abusive behavior. If you think this is an error, please tell us thanks for all the replies. As people noted, resetting your modem/router and getting a new IP address should resolve the issue. I just went to bed and things were working fine in the morning – perhaps Chunghwa got received complaints and resolved the issue.
