quandow Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I use True as my internet provider. I've had a devil of a time this weekend trying to connect using my StrongVPN service. Anyone else having a similar issue? Is True blocking my VPN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myprivate Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 In my experience True definitely blocks VPN's, or at least throttles them down to kb rates rendering them useless for streaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I have been using VPN on True for over five years with no problem.I usually connect to US servers and some times Singapore. Mostly used to stream US TV and movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPN worked fine and "improved" speed to many international sites. Maybe your VPN Service provider is the bad guy in this case, not True as all VPN Service Providers are not created equal. And if a free VPN service they are usually slower than paid VPN service. See this ThaiVisa thread for more info on VPN "usually" improving your speed to some international sites....it sure did for me when I was on True.

myprivate Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm using TunnelBear now, but also tried a few others but got the same problem. I telephoned True technical support and they confirmed to me that they restrict VPN's and advised that I need to change to a business package if I want to use a VPN at full speed. I then contacted the VPN service provider and they replied saying that this is a known issue for many ISP in Thailand. I've tested it myself - a speedtest with VPN turned off is 18MB, but a speedtest with VPN turned on is 0.2MB. Which VPN did you use? By the way, I'm talking about True Fibre (not cell 3G/4G)a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one (optionally) you run a VPN on port 443 and you ISP might see that as being normal https traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
