Description

Hello! i was trying to download this video frm a facebook page. They posted it to a group, but the group is public, so anyone can view the video. When I first tried it, it said I had to login, so i put in my credentials. However, it still said I had to login even after I logged in. What's the issue?

I've tried using a few proxies but they never work. Can you give me a proxy command that actually works?
