They need to get it sorted pronto, or this website is a dead forum, as many who have gone before have become dead ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Crossy Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2021 As a temporary solution try a VPN that puts you outside Thailand so you are not using the Thai CloudFlare server which seems to have some strange issues with some connections. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I am on True Online for my connection and not getting the 522 failures. Most people that are getting it are using TOT it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudFlare is working fine, the problem seems to be the TV servers. I have now given up trying to comment on this. This, and so many other issues have plagued TVF for weeks now. To me it looks like the TVF admin team is totally incompetent. Better start hiring better talent, instead of the cheap Indians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have reported that when Thaivisa has issues so do other sites using CloudFlare. To be honest I have zero idea what's going on, but fear not I won't bother sharing any further information. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally know some of the Admins - they are really decent people who do the best they can. Thailand is known for "tinkering" with the internet and this occasionally bites us, but don't blame the staff. Several options have been made available to you. Rock on, use the options, and happy posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird tho, first off you can't get TV no matter what you try and then all of a sudden everything back to normal...if it gets worse I may try the VPN route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thonglorjimmy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I may be a bit thick and I certainly struggle when it comes to understand the inner workings of the Internet, but what I am really struggling to grasp is why I can access TVF via a VPN in Singapore but I cannot access it easily using my TOT connection, surely everything comes down the same TOT pipe. Like others I have to make a few attempts before I can log on, then as soon as I click on a link I'm back to 522, I really do wonder if it's worth it. I do pay for a VPN, but only on my laptop, I don't really want to, or feel the need, to have on my tablet and phone just to access the TVF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the only way of accessing thaivisa.com from inside Thailand was through a VPN, then we would need to seriously wonder, I fear, whether the powers-that-be have made a conscious and deliberate decision to block access to this site from inside Thailand. In particular, they may well have got heartily sick of the fact that we aren't reporting on a regular basis our ecstatic delight at skipping up and down our sois fulsomely singing the praises of their various immigration-related requirements to the very highest heavens as being the best thing since sliced bread! While it certainly appears that the current access difficulties are solely confined to TOT subscribers, who is to know when or if subscribers of remaining Thai ISP's may be similarly affected? Since TOT are, according to Wikipedia, state-owned (see link below), they could possibly be blazing the trail for them all?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOT_Public_Company_Limited Having got absolutely nowhere these past few days in accessing thaivisa.com via TOT without receiving constant Error 522 messages, I have finally enjoyed success through creating a hotspot with my AIS mobile. But how much longer will this continue to be possible, I wonder, before I, too, am finally driven down the VPN route? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in Thailand and using TOT and error 522 on a daily routine basis since 3 or 4 days only thai visa forum is impacted, all the others sites are functioning normaly with no any problem i am not going to use a VPN or nothing else to try to solve a problem that isn't mine i will just wait the person supposed to be in charge of this forum will act in a way to do it easy to people to use it, as we say in Thailand ''up to you'' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
