Why can’t I search anything on my iPhone 13 when connected to WiFi?

Asked By TechyTraveler92 On

I'm having a weird issue with my iPhone 13. When it's connected to WiFi, I can't access any websites in my browser. It keeps saying the sites are unsafe, even flagging Google as a potential scam. However, I can still search without any problems when I'm not using WiFi. I'm really concerned about this issue since it labels all sites as unsafe. Anyone know what could be causing this?

This could be due to SSL decryption happening on the WiFi. Your phone may be connecting to a proxy server instead of directly to the site, which is why it flags the sites as unsafe. Can you check if other devices connect fine on the same network? Also, where exactly is this WiFi located?

I’m not sure about the location or if other devices are fine. It's just the university’s WiFi for on-campus students.

It seems like your phone thinks the WiFi you're connected to is unsafe. What type of WiFi network is it? It might have some security settings that are causing this.

Yeah, that sounds like there's a DNS redirect or some monitoring on the network. Is it a public free WiFi?
