• List of sites to add to firewall rules.

Skype

• 201502 no clear set of rules found to allow skype out, on a deny all firewall policy

Apple devices

• 201405 from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1379

  • itunes.apple.com ->  2.17.226.217
    ax.itunes.apple.com
    albert.apple.com
    gs.apple.com

• 201405 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3204

  • port tcp/80,443,5223 + bunch of udp
    apple.com

• 201405 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4264 17.0.0.0/8

  • Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs)
    Devices using APNs need a direct connection to Apple's server.
        TCP port 5223 (used by devices to communicate to the APNs servers) 
        TCP port 2195 (used to send notifications to the APNs)
        TCP port 2196 (used by the APNs feedback service)
        TCP Port 443 (used as a fallback on Wi-fi only, when devices are unable to communicate to APNs on port 5223)
    
    The entire 17.0.0.0/8 address block is assigned to Apple, so it's best to allow this range in your firewall settings.
