How is that "better" than what I suggested? You block all by default and only allow "trusted" traffic. If there is a proxy, of course you should use it (as I already said). Otherwise, if it's a necessary requirement of normal day-to-day activities, than you allow it statefully.


If you're in an environment where the only necessary outbound services are proxy-capable, more power to you. I guarantee you you're in the extreme minority.
