Block Apps From Accessing Internet #130

Feature request

Description

Please add the ability to add apps to a blacklist were IVPN will not allow these apps to access the internet what so ever.

Describe the solution you'd like

Many apps collect data and send them to servers with telemetry. There are apps out there that solve this but they conflict with VPNs when VPNs edit the firewall settings such as IVPN kill switch ability.

Describe alternatives you've considered

In the IVPN app settings, you can add a app connection blacklist were you can enable/disable disable any app from having a internet connection when IVPN is connected.

Isn't what "Split tunnel" menu is for in the App?

johnnyburnaway commented 5 months ago

Split tunneling is (usually) used to separate Apps that you would like to bypass the VPN tunnel. It won't stop them from accessing the Internet. The requested functionality is closer to a firewall+network controls feature.
