davejonesbkk Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Anyone else see this on Coconuts? http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2014/09/11/massive-internet-surveillance-begin-monday-report-claims so should I break out my tin foil hat or not? Can any engineers comment on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 If I had to guess I'd say they've got round to implementing this, but just by looking at this post you'll get into trouble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Coat_Systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I heard the Jet-Ski boys on Pattaya beach watch porn while they are waiting to scam tourists, maybe they should start there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacky54 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Using an unspecified "surveillance device" to look for creators and consumers of "illegal content," what ever could it be? certainly not a Thai device, if they want it to work that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muratremix Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Can they decrypt openvpn tunnels? It seems unlikely but? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemapoot Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I've seen the effects already. About a week ago, I started to see some changes in the Hola free in-Chrome extension VPN, which was working pretty well. Now, it seems that most sites are blocked, even using Hola, so they have been doing some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globeman Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 They have been doing that since Thaksin. Why do you think there is a huge data bottleneck going through Bangkok? Ummm... because there are 12 million people in Bangkok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 No bottlenecks in Singapore, HK, NY, London, Bangalore...I don't see your point? Population has nothing to do with the bottleneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Seems like the Daily Mail is off the banned list, don't need my VPN anymore to read Still blocked for me. Using True cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Actually, I feel as if I am in Europe 30 years ago regarding internet. I hardly bother to log on nowadays because of the speed and unavailability of many websites. Webpages take 3 or 4 minutes to load. More and more sites are blocked. Yesterday, my Live score app stopped working using AIS. Switched to wifi... no problem. I hate to think about it but when will Thai Visa be blocked?

muratremix Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Without VPN, download speeds from mediafire is 25kbyte/sec (which was 500-1000 kb/sec before) With Singapore VPN, it is over 400kbyte/sec However, it is not because of bw throttling. If they can inspect your packets, they will and this makes it slow (they need some sort of supercomputer to analyze all Thai internet) When you connect via VPN, I think system realizes it can't inspect so it leaves you alone and your speed is unaffected!

JohnnyJazz Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I believe people complaining should have been red flagged as political activists. My home has a very stardard True connection. There are between three to five computers connected at any given moment plus a number of phones and tablets and without being lightning fast the connection speed remains fairly decent 99% of the time.

I don't share anything about Thailand so your assumptions are wrong. However, I live in a Thai populated area (Perhaps 5-10 farang in my area total) so they could be monitoring Thais and I'm the victim of their underpowered packet inspection servers.
