wprime Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'm a developer and True's aggressive caching disobeys numerous caching protocols and even incorrectly re-directs data. E.g. if data is bound for 1.1.1.1 with the HTTP Host Header of abc.com, True's cache server sometimes obtains a copy from abc.com and sends that without even connecting to 1.1.1.1. This can occur even with a cache-control: no-cache being sent from the server side. If this contained secure information (okay that shouldn't be sent via a HTTP GET request), this information will be compromised. So how do people bypass it? Does True allow customers to "opt out"? Anyone have any reliable proxies to recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Do True offer more expensive commercial/business accounts? Maybe they don’t cache (so aggressively)? Or do what most people do and avoid True like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Use a VPN and bypass them completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Here is current VPN to Singapore using PIA on True 30/3 service Appears that's a skewed reading based on the fast ping time...probably representing the ping time between the VPN server in Singapore and the Speedtest.net server in Singapore versus the ping time between your location in Thailand and Singapore. Even the distance shown reflects less than 50 miles. This also means the download speed results could be skewed, probably to the high side.

lopburi3 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yes that was from PIA to Singapore Speedtest site as example of VPN not causing much reduction from full speed when used. My current test without VPN to Batam shows slower circuit but that is normal at this hour of evening. But same test to Singapore still shows full speed - so original speed obtained from PIA is what I would receive using VPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember having like 40ms from Bangkok to Singapore. When you're connected to singapore, in a traceroute, singapore hop would be your 2nd or 3rd hop and it'll start with 30-40 ms instead of 1ms local network.
