I'm testing a specific application and I want to try to create a script that will block all I/O network traffic when I'm holding a specific button, is this possible?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You could dick around with your OS's networking configurations when you click a button.

kind of what i want to try to do

#

instead of going in and modifying it manually

#

because it's tedious as hell

#

Set up some kind of forwarding from one interface to another, and run commands on button press that reroute to different interfaces.

#

Or just put an interface down.

the easiest way would probably be to, yeah, run some system-specific console command

i'm on windows 10 so no iptables for me

#

if i want to block a specific IP could i just make it a hostname taht leads to nowhere?

#

Windows has its own set of commands.

i've fucked with my hosts file before

#

is this doable
