If you are having difficulty accessing facebook, this solution might work for you. Affected users only.
Why? this is because it is most likely caused by one of the hop servers at “facebook-10G.hkix.net [202.40.161.110]” which located at Hong Kong Internet Exchange.

#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
