Step 1: Check If Facebook Is Down Nationwide
Visit downdetector.pl or downdetector.com/status/facebook. If there’s a spike in reports from Poland, it’s likely a regional outage. Check @FacebookApp on Twitter/X for official status updates. If it’s a widespread outage, wait 15-60 minutes.
Step 2: Check Your Internet Connection
Test if other websites work. If they don’t, your internet is down. Restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds. Try switching between WiFi and mobile data to isolate the issue. Contact your ISP if other sites also fail.

Some Polish ISPs have DNS issues that block Facebook. Change your DNS to Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). On Windows: Network Settings > Change adapter options > IPv4 Properties > enter DNS manually. This often resolves intermittent Facebook access issues.
Step 4: Disable VPN or Proxy
If you use a VPN or proxy, disable it temporarily. VPNs can route traffic through congested servers or IPs that Facebook has flagged, causing access issues. Try accessing Facebook without the VPN first.
Step 5: Clear DNS Cache
On Windows, run Command Prompt as Administrator and type: ipconfig /flushdns. On Mac, open Terminal and type: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache. This clears old cached DNS records that may be pointing to non-functional servers.
