1. A method of optimizing network transactions originating at a mobile device, comprising:

  • categorizing a network transaction from an application as a safe or an unsafe network transaction, wherein a safe network transaction is a candidate for network transaction optimization and wherein categorizing the network transaction includes;

    gathering a number of messages associated with the network transaction;

    determining a rule set including one or more rules using rule learning to identify messages associated with a safe network transaction and messages associated with an unsafe network transaction;

    calculating, for each rule in the rule set, a probability of success and a confidence probability threshold;

    determining whether to apply each rule in the rule set based on the calculated probability of success compared with the confidence probability threshold;

    blocking a safe network transaction from being transmitted to a server over a wireless network for network transaction optimization;

    wherein blocking the safe network transaction includes blocking a port of the application or blocking the application until an unblocking event is detected;

    wherein the unblocking event is not associated with the end of a defined duration of time; and

    wherein blocking the safe network transaction includes applying the rule set to messages not used for rule learning.
