Re: forbid internet access to an application?



Ok, so let's for instance consider ping.

That one is simple. Don't run it. Then it will not access the net.

1) For instance, I'm not sure if picasa gains access to the internet when I
use it (they say the option "check for upgrades" is always disabled even if
it looks selected... but who knows?). Worse, I'm not sure it doesn't signal
when I'm using it.

2) The same for instace with eclipse. Also if I tell it not to check for
updates, how can I be really sure it never access the network?

3) And what if I would like to prevent skype from connecting to some ips?
(while still keep them available for other applications)
