Block Internet Access by App/Process ID

I would like to change an app privilege on runtime. Suppose an application has internet access privilege. Now i want to change the privilege blocked so that this application can not use internet.

I am waiting for a response to find a way to block the privilege after application is installed. If there is no way. How can i approach to block interner access by process/app id.

Thank in advanced.

I think the privilege can't be removed/disabled at runtime.

To make block internet actions you can maybe use localStorage.

Something like that?

var allowInternet = localStorage.getItem('allowInternet') || null;

if(allowInternet)
{
    //TODO: Do you internet stuff here
}
else
{
    //TODO: Do you non-internet stuff here
}

index.html

<input type="checkbox" id="allow-internet">Allow internet access</a>
var checkbox = document.querySelector('#allow-internet');

function changeInternetAccess() {
    var checked = this.checked;

    if(checked)
    {
        localStorage.setItem('allowInternet', "1");
    }
    else
    {
        localStorage.removeItem('allowInternet');
    }
}

checkbox.addEventListener('change', changeInternetAccess);

Hello,

You cannot change app privileges on runtime due security reason.

Hello,

As privileges are used to protect user privacy and system stability they can't be removed or modified at runtime.
