sellingmystuff Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi, I've been having a lot of problems getting the following page when trying to access various websites: 'ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: http://ocs.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? Read Error The system returned: (104) Connection reset by peer An error condition occurred while reading data from the network. Please retry your request. Your cache administrator is webmaster. Generated Thu, 03 Oct 2013 06:21:33 GMT by proxy-hotspot (squid/3.0.STABLE19)" It's been happening for about two or three weeks. Primarily it happens with ebay.co.uk, but also with various BBC sites, UK-based newspapers and today with AirAsia. Often I can access certain pages, but then when I try to access a subsequent page I recieve the above message. I've tried all the usual suggestions - clearing cache and history, changing DNS to 'open DNS', removing extensions - but nothing has fixed it. I use True Internet via my apartment's wi-fi, I have an Apple laptop (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and I've used Safari, Chrome and Foxfire and get the same problem with each browser. I've found lots of mentions of this problem on Google, but haven't been able to find a definitive solution. Any help would be VERY gratefully recieved. Thank you!

Chicog Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Have you tried using HTTPS instead of HTTP? This is generally recommended these days. You can find a browser plugin called "HTTPS Anywhere" or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSixpack Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Clean out browser cache & cookies, restart. Change your DNS to FreeDNS or Google Use https as noted above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellingmystuff Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks, tried all of those. There seemed to be an initial improvement when I moved to open DNS, but that improvement only lasted a few hours. I've tried flushing the DNS as well, but that didn't fix things.

KittenKong Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I'm getting some diabolical connections to the UK at the moment via CAT, though it doesnt seem to affect all their nodes. True may be having the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclag Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 google free VPN services .this will block TOT or True and redirect you to another IP while still being connected to there services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The problem is with True. As far as I can figure thay are doing massive filtering or bandwidth shaping and it is effecting the ability to load sites properly. I have True and this has become a serious problem during the past month or so. Plus it varies with time of day. I know it is a problem specific to True, because if I go to Pattaya and use the internet on another ISP, there are no problems. What's worse is that they appear to be playing with the parameters constantly. One day everything might work perfectly, the next is total crap.

bkksiam Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I suspect your problem is snow leopard 10.6.8.I had so many connection problems with snow leopard on my mac in thailand a few years ago that I switched to a pc. It would suddenly drop my wireless connection. Have a look here re a snow leopard combo update that seems to have worked for some people: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3139398?start=0&tstart=0 Edited October 4, 2013 by bkksiam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellingmystuff Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for some great tips. I tried a free 24 hour trial with CactusVPN. That seemed to solve the problem, so I need to find a good, safe and FREE VPN provider. Yes, True has been in a real mess for the last month or so with the various redirections to ad sites, terrible connections, etc. Although today it does seem to be working a little better...so far!! Thanks again for everyone's help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 squid is the government proxy which kindly filters the webpages for us so we can't get accidentally in contact with all the ugly farang things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
