Generally Accepted Safe/Best Practice Inbound/Outbound Rules?

Jimstigator
Hey fellas,

The firewalls I recently replaced with UTMs performed no outbound filtering.  I love the new UTMs but I am finding the administrative burden of creating a rule for every bit of traffic is killing me.  For example, I allowed Pandora via Application Control, but the UTM still blocks the iPhone app, which then requires its own rule. 

Are there any generally accepted safe rules that most admins put in their UTMs firewall rules?  I don't want to blanket allow all outbound/inbound traffic, but it just seems nuts that I need 60 rules for basic internet/app usage.

Thanks!
Jim

    Sanity check: do you have the "Bypass content scanning for streaming content" box checked under Web Protection --> Web Filtering --> Advanced?  It's enabled by default, but perhaps it got turned off.

    Yes, it is checked.  Also confirmed today this behavior exists at all sites.  Take an iPAD or iPhone to any site protected by a UTM, using just the default protection methods), and it can't access a video on CNN.  I can't believe this hasn't come up before in the forums?
