Android Central Question

When I'm using my home WiFi network, all the apps on my Samsung A505W connect to the internet, but when I'm using WiFi at a pub or café, only the various Google & Facebook apps connect to the internet. (E.g. Google search bar, & maps, Youtube, Gmail, Netflx, Facebook & Messenger are all connecting to the internet when I'm away from home but Twitter, non-Google websites, Duolingo, Lyft, etc. don't.) I've tried a few solutions (including restarting my phone) but nothing's worked so far. How do I fix this?
 
Welcome to Android Central! Do you use a VPN app? If so, turn it off. VPNs can sometimes interfere with the proper function of some apps.
