Would be really a good thing. But I guess they ban accounts after a few log ins from different IP addresses so these don't mess up their profiling data.

Maybe a bug-me-not that uses a VPN for a consistent IP and sends a spoofed user-agent for added uniformity would be an improvement.

Additionally, each time the account is deactivated, the service time-bans the users who most recently were assigned the deactivated account (suspected to be Facebook's security team) for 6 hours, sends all other users the credentials to a new auto-created account, and looks for repeat presence of IPs in the time-banned group to be perma-banned.

SSH proxy might be better, but its still going to be your whole browser connections that are going through the tunnel. Maybe it would be an alternative to come up with a way of spliting an internet connection among different tunnels, e.g. a way of managing different proxies for different ip destinations. Could be actually be an interesting project to develop there more user friendly/mainstream compatible privacy tools. Wish I had the skills to do that :)
