Windows 10: Block complete connection to The Internet with windows?

Hi Guys after switching over to Win 10 and not using Kaspersky anymore until they have refined a working version of their latest product I can't find any way to block complete access to the Internet. In Kaspersky there was a setting that blocked all access.

Is it possible to do this too in Win 10 as there are times when I need to block access whilst my DJ studio is being used as I don't want a sudden download and reboot because of some program update while I am in the middle of a recording session, any help please?

Many thanks



:)

 

I need a way to block apps from connecting to the internet in windows phone 8.1.

I want to prevent specific apps from connecting to the internet as i feel that they have no use of connecting to the net.

I have tried that these apps work perfectly offline so please tell me a way to completely block these apps from connecting to the internet.

Please help me. If there is an app that can do this please mention the app name.

Hi guys,

I've downloaded skype from ovi store and install it on my 5530. Everything fine.

But if i start skye it freeze, completely blocked in screen with internet/wap selection.

I'd like connecting it throw wifi hot spot.



I tried start skype already connected or not connected, but same behaviour: screen blocked and no wifi network selection.



Any ideas??



Thanks

I would go back to Kaspesrky if it is compatible. I went back to Avast Internet Security and I have no problems blocking all Net access,

 

It works Gary but it is so buggy it just makes more problems than it is worth at present, keeps crashing and wanting to send daily upwards of 2-3 GB of data dumps in one week it had filled my 120GB SSD full of data dumps and I hadn't realised why until I checked under the hood. I can do without that at present, I'll wait on Kaspersky until it is Win 10 ready some time soon. In the meantime I still need a solution to my problem *Sad

 

Set your connection to a Metered Connection. Then you control when it does something. The Firewall is not going to stop Windows Downloader to go out and grab updates. I have not had to reboot Windows 10 yet after updates are installed.

 

You can just disable network adapter used to connect to internet,

 

This is a nice program which shuts off/turns on your internet connection. And it's free. *Biggrin It's working on 10 just fine.

Internet Off - Internet Blocking App for Windows

 

Many thanks that is exactly what I wanted, you sir are a Star!!!

Danke sehr das ist genau das, was ich wollte, du bist ein Stern!

 

Glad I could help *Biggrin

 

Is this program virus free and so forth been looking for a way to do this for a very long time i came across this post searching the forums. let me know if so i will get this app looks nice.

 

If you're using blocking programs, you're still connected to the internet. The simplest solution as mentioned above is not to connect the computer to the internet in the first place.

 

Another easy and fast method without any third party applications:

Press WIN + R to open Run dialog, type control inetcpl.cpl and click OK to open Internet Properties. Select Connections tab, click LAN settings:





Select Use a proxy server for your LAN, set it to local host IP 127.0.0.1, click OK to save proxy settings:





Now the Internet is totally blocked but local network connections will work as usual. Takes less than 10 seconds to do. To enable Internet again, just reverse the process unchecking proxy.
