So, obviously, students are angry that they can't use their devices to talk to their loved ones, can't play Quizup, can't 'whatsapp' any person, blah, blah. Now a days, students use a lot of wireless devices, and many of the famous apps like skype on apple devices, don't honour system proxy settings. The firewall on the default gateway drops any packets that are either not coming from proxy, or are not ICMP. In my college, there is a squid proxy server (10.4.8.204) running on 8080.
