[tor-talk] Meek Problems

Hello,
When I connect to Tor at school without bridges, it works fine.  The issue is that my IT department has a DPI unit that can tell I’m using Tor, so I tried using Meek.  When Tor starts, it boot straps to 10%, then stops.  When I click Open Settings, it says Tor failed to establish an encrypted directory connection.  Somehow, Meek is being broken by the sensor.  I thought the sensor might be doing a man in the middle on Google, but when I load the web site, I don’t get any MITM warnings.  OBFS 3 and 4 and Scramblesuit work just fine, along with regular Tor.  My question to you guys is, what would the filter be doing to break Meek?
The funny thing is that I don’t think it’s breaking Meek on purpose.
Thanks,
Justin.
