There are known differences in HTTP behavior for Singnet subscribers between the use of the transparent proxy farm versus the traditional proxy server proxy.singnet.com.sg:8080. For example, certain SSL sites (HTTPS) simply cannot have authentication cookies to be transmitted properly using the transparent proxies, and users are forced to explicit use proxy.singnet.com.sg before authentication can be successful.
I recommend trying both options and observe if there is any difference for your case.
