Many times you might need to block the internet access for a particular app
This might be a privacy region or you might be getting tons of notifications from a particular app
and you want to block the internet access for that app. In my case I am using this Weige folder Heidel to log some data on my PC
and I want to block the internet access for this app. In case if this app gets compromised, they won't be able to transfer data from my PC
since this app doesn't have any internet access. And you can achieve this using Windows Firewall
You just have to go to the Windows Search and look for Windows Defender firewall
And open the Windows Defender Firewall and go to Advanced Settings. Also you can open this Advanced Settings from the Windows Settings as well
You just have to go to the menu then Windows Settings. privacy and security Windows Security and then Firewall and Network Protection click on Advanced Settings It will open the same interface Once you have this page on this screen you just have to create inbound rule and outbound
rule for that particular app. Click on Inbound Rules and then create a new rule
Now select program. Since we want to block an app, then next
Here you have to browse that app. EXC file of the app which you want to block
Click on Browse and then go to this PC, LocalDisc, Program files cross 86
Or you might have to open program files if you are using 32-bit apps
Generally it is program files 86. Now you have to look for the publisher of that app
It might be same as the app name or might have different folders
In my case the folder name is Weige and I know this Weige folder contains the EXE file which I am looking for
In your case this will be different so you have to look for the publisher name and then EXE file of that app and open the app which contains the EXE file and you have to select that app from here In my case it is Weiss folder hider
So you have to find and select the main application here. Now click on open and then next
We want to block the internet connection. So select block the connection. Next
And select all the domains. And next. You can name this rule anything for your convenience so that you can remember that this is the rule for that app
And same, you have to create an outbound rule as well. Select outbound rule, a new rule, program, next
Select the same exact path and that particular app. Click on open, next
Block the connection and all domains, next. and name this rule whatever you want and then click on finish and after creating
both rules the app won be able to access the internet now any times you want to allow the internet access for that app you just have to delete both rules One more thing if you are unable to locate your EXE file then do this
Just go to the shortcut of that app, right click on it, and then open file location
Now you have to browse this location while you are blocking the internet connection and
select the highlighted app. For the demonstration purpose, I created same rules for the Microsoft Edge
I created both rules, inbound and outbound rules, and let's see if it blocks the internet or not
Now you can see that I am unable to browse the internet access on Microsoft Edge
So this is the way you can block the internet access for a particular app
And anytime if you want to restore the internet connection, you just have to delete the created rules
And then app will be able to access the internet connection. So this is how you can block and unblock the internet connection for a particular app
