Exception rule for Netflix streaming?

I have recently started using Netflix again and am having trouble with it streaming to devices behind my UTM. I'm 99% sure it's due to the content filter and requires an exception rule; I have never been good with these rules and am wondering if anyone has created a rule for Netflix already?

I have "Bypass content scanning for streaming content" enabled which has not made a difference. When I add specific devices to the "transparent mode skiplist" they instantly work.

Hi!

Got complaints from my father about the Netflix issue. Sorted out a brute force regexp to fix it. It works, while not pretty..

Add this line to your other "typical" Netflix lines, if you want. But as this is IP independent, dont use it in production security systems. For my fathers fw it is secure enough...

^http(s)?:\/\/[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}/(range/[0-9]{1,10}-[0-9]{1,10}/)?\?o=.{1,255}&v=[3-9]{1,1}&e=[0-9]{1,255}&t=.{1,255}(&random=[0-9]{1,20})?

... it can be improved ... but...

Enjoy!
