Question

Explicit Proxy Rules Order

I have a load of Proxy rules, and have placed them in a specific order, So that all the "UNAUTH" Rules are at the top and then the AUTH rules,

 

Problem I have,  I need an UNAUTH rule to catch the rest of the traffic using a webfilter, to block things, but if I place this rule at the end of the UNAUTH rules, the people who need to AUTH to certain sites will now hit this rule first, which i dont want, its for Apple IPHONE users, that cant AUTH but need to be allowed out. The Auth Rules are important to allow certain groups to certain sites, but as they will be below this UNAUTH catch all policy, they will hit that? I cant figure out how to arrange the rules! any advice appreciated.

I was able to sort this by providing more Granular rules at the top for UNAUTH, then below this all the AUTH rules.
