check if the domain was transferred correctly - lookup your domain here https://mxtoolbox.com/MXLookup.aspx

but do not agree to any their "fix problems" offers without consulting with us first ????

your internet provider could block traffic to port 21.

try an encrypted FTP connection to another port, your hosting provider should have sent you the information about how to use SFTP/FTPS.

what about purchasing a second-hand tablet?

Paypal still works as of 3rd December.

well... so long PP, I've requested an account deletion because I can't use it anymore.

doesn't your router provide a web interface for sending USSD commands?

I have tried both http and https, both same problem. 

"same" = "could not establish secure connection"?  there is a redirect to HTTPS then, or your browser forces HTTPS redirect.

try another HTTP-only website, for example http://mirror.centos.org/

make sure you see exactly "http" in the address bar, not "https", and if you see "https" - change to "http" manually.

A few years ago we were watching a fruit lady spraying all her produce with bug spray at the local fruit market right in front of us to keep insects from eating her merchandise.

and yes, it also looks like a DNS problem, check which DNS servers are used on your devices and in your router's web interface.

also check this:

Could be the DNS of the ISP redirecting the domain to something like a wifi sign-in portal page (3BB likes to do that for example if some payment is due). This would fail because they don't have a valid certificate for those domains and only works without HTTPS encryption.

 

What happen if you try to open http://example.com which does not run under HTTPS?

- do HTTP websites work?

Below is a screenshot.

 

check the date and time on all your devices including the router (through its web interface), the secure connection would not establish if the date is wrong because applications will think that the SSL certificate is invalid because it is either not yet issued or outdated.

I really don't understand your logic, they're in Thailand with the cash, why would they want to put the cash in their Russian accounts and how would they do it from here?  Do these tourists have UnionPay cards?

My logic is they should have kept their money in the bank and use cards instead of bringing piles of cash with them.

Wouldn't the tourists need a local bank account for that and why "UnionPay", in particular?

They could use Russian bank accounts. Unionpay did not sanction Russia unlike Visa and Mastercard.

my laptop had issues last year, I brought it to a repair shop in Pattaya and it got repaired in less than 24 hours both times.

which issues exactly? I've got the LCD cable (the one that goes from the motherboard through the hinges to the display) worn out over time and had to wait for several days for it to be delivered from abroad, as there are no such cables locally.

I have a Clevo laptop too and am very happy with it, however it is pretty old (bought it around 2015 too) so I don't know about quality of their recent models. But the old ones are very good indeed!

However keep in mind that you won't be able to quickly repair a Clevo laptop if something hits the fan, because their spare parts are not as widely available as generic Asus or Dell laptops. So if you don't have a spare computer to use while waiting for the spare parts to come from abroad I would recommend against buying Clevo.

P.S. I've bought mine in Singapore not Thailand, in this shop: https://www.aftershockpc.com

they have some spare parts in stock so you might want to bookmark them just in case.

Use a VPN. If you use a cloud computer you are relying on a 3rd party to ensure the security of your data. A VPN will encrypt it within your computer.

using a VPN is very same as you give all your network traffic to a 3rd party (VPN provider) instead of giving it to your home internet provider.

If your traffic is not encrypted with SSL/TLS - the VPN provider will see everything you do online. And if encrypted with weak methods (as in like 90% of websites) they will see a part of your information such as domains you visit and possibly URLs, which they will sell to the marketing agencies later.

but yes - at least you won't store your information on someone else's "cloud" computer.

I'm afraid there are only two options - either order your dream laptop somewhere abroad and have it shipped here or buy a base model (with your desired CPU and GPU but minimal amount of RAM and cheap HDD) and stuff it with RAM modules and SSD bought separately.

I haven't seen its backend code but seeing the frontend I can tell that Lazada (and Aliexpress) is a bunch of shítcode and an excellent example of how not to make websites.

To the OP: try Shopee, they are much less annoying.

- no need to have another computer

- no need to update

- no danger of data leak / intrusion on the remote computer

- much less danger of the remote computer having a technical issue (Bios CMOS bad, select boot device/ windows blue screen loop, boot into safe mode, windows update fails....)

- you can use all your programs/files of your own computer

... I guess there are some advantages I don't even think about, but I'm sure there is not a single advantage in using a remote computer and teamviewer compared to VPN on the router.

 

and ah, hum, I have been a user of teamviewer for years until they decided my connection to my dad's computer and my son's computer were of "commercial" nature and cut every connection after 1 minute. It took some time to convince them otherwise.

 

the less you depend on third party vendors and other devices, the more reliable your solution is.

setting up a local computer in Thailand to make it look like it's residing in USA might be much more difficult than buying a separate computer and using a Teamviewer.

If I was OP I would choose the Teamviewer route.

I'm thinking I'll use a Raspberry Pi if I go this route.  It has enough horsepower for such a simple task, is very light on power consumption and can handle most everything a full Linux installation can do.

It doesn't have enough horsepower for the modern Web such as Facebook or Instagram.

For simple websites such as online banking it should be Ok though.

What a great country!

thanks for advice.

Sort of!!!  For no tax the earnings do not have to be older than one year, they just have to come from a previous year.  So 2022 earnings can be remitted tax free on January 2, 2023.

Could you share a link to the document describing this, please? I'm afraid it's not correct otherwise it would have been a great lifehack for zero tax dividend payout.
