    ideally it should not cause any issues.

    you can consider create exclusions for your necessary programs. and known issues for client failure

    The default policy *should* contain the necessary rules to allow your network traffic to flow smoothly. Some times you may run into problems where traffic from an app over a random port is being blocked. In which case you will need to monitor the logs to determine what rule(s) should be created to allow the traffic.
