network blocked

Ever felt like blocking certain program from accessing Internet would be better?because it its taking too much of your bandwidth,or you've registered with a Fake serial key and want to prevent the program from contacting its servers? Then use Windows Firewall to do it.


Just try and follow the below images:


control panel

  • Open control panel
system and security in control panel

  • Open System and security

managing windows firewall

  • Open windows firewall
advanced fire wall settings

  • Advanced settings

windows fire wall outbound rules

  • Outbound rules

adding new outbound rules to windows firewall

  • New rule

new outbound program rule


outbound select program


  • browse for the application and click next


block the connection to program


block all network connections


name of firewall rule

  • Give it a name and description so that you can later identify it.

And thats it,you've successfully blocked that application from accessing internet.


If later you decide to let it have an access to internet,then simply Delete the rule.


remove firewall rule

Note: be careful while deleting the rules,make sure you do not delete any of the windows rules accidentally.
