What is Windows Firewall
The Windows Firewall applet enables you to control access to and from your system, protecting it from network-based threats.
Just do as shown below-
8. In the Action window, select Block the connection. Press Next.
9. Select when your blocking rules should apply to the program. Check all three options to completely cut off internet access.
10. Give a name to the new rule you just created.
1. On your Windows PC, open the Start Menu and go to Control Panel.
2. Click on Windows Firewall in Control Panel.
3. On the left side of the next window, click on Advanced settings.
4. To restrict internet access for a specific app, simply click on "Outbound Rules".
5. Click on New Rule under the Actions panel located on the right side of the window.
6. Click on Program and press Next.
7. Type in the path of your program or browse to locate it.
5. Click on New Rule under the Actions panel located on the right side of the window.
The path for blocking internet access to a program is usually "C:\Program Files\application.exe" or "C:\Program Files(x86)\application.exe", where "application" is the program's name.
Once you click on the Finish button, your rule will be activated.
In this example, I created a rule to block Mozilla Firefox's internet connection and named it "Block Firefox." Once you click Finish, the rule will activate and appear under Outbound Rules.
If you want to completely block internet access for a program, you can do so by blocking its inbound connections. To do this, follow step 4 and select “inbound rules”, then proceed with the similar steps.
