android apps wont connect over school wifi I have several apps that won't connect even though I connected to WiFi google chrome and browser work find it other apps that say can't connect to server or needs internet connection. When I'm at home it works fine
My school uses a similar system, probably the same actually.  What I think it is, is either Deep Packet Inspection or your Firewall.

I am almost positive, all I know is that your school blocks the applications somehow (it could also just block the website or server the app uses).
