Feature request: Network access control #6

General (undistinctive) network access permission handling would be great to avoid using additional firewall apps.

Should be possible. But: no fine-tuning. Just as simple as a switch: Can access internet or not. Furthermore it will take some time.

Well, I've made some "testings" until now. The current state: Internet-restriction is possible and works so far (not activated in DG until now), but with a little exception. If the application is using a connection-based protocol to connect e.g. to a server, you can't restrict it directly. That means: If the application is currently connected to a server and you restrict internet access, the rule will be applied after the restart of the application. I think this shouldn't happen. I will looking forward to develop a solution for this behavior.

You mean that an existing connection won't be disconnected by the rule, just reestablishing will be blocked ever after? I think that's a reasonable restriction for the beginning and still far better than using an extra app.

Exactly.

Okay, I will release it asap.
