How to block access to the Internet game? Instructions

If you are a gamer to the very depths of the soul, and in aggregate also a malicious pirate, then buying licensed games in stores is not for you. You download hacked games from torrent trackers and play them for free. In some cases, this article may be useful to you. After all, now many manufacturers introduce online scans into their offspring, and the game can try to independently check its version on the project site. Therefore, it is vitally important for you to know how to block access to the Internet game so that the hacked version works.

First attempts

For a start, do not hurry. If you are sure that your toy is not infected with a virus and does not attempt to enter the World Wide Web on its own, then you can try to use the following tips before you block access to the Internet.

While running the application you are interested in, just turn off the Internet. If you do not download anything, you do not wait for a Skype call, then simply disconnect the personal computer from the Internet. For example, you can bring a hacked version of LANoire. The game tries to retrieve data about the player's account from the server. When you turn off the Internet, it will not do this. And you can play calmly.

Server

The second reason that access may need to be blocked is if the hacked game tries to update. And this usually leads to the fact that the hacked version stops working. In this case, you do not need to know how to block access to the Internet game. It will be enough to protect it from the server.

  1. Find the server address of the game you want to block.
  2. We find in the "My computer" file hosts and open it with a notepad.
  3. We enter into it, as shown in the example (in the file itself), the ip-address of the game update server.
  4. After this action, any calls of your computer to this address can not reach the addressee.
  5. Without access to the server, your toy will not be able to update or verify its authenticity.

Firewall

If you suspect your application in resident malicious activity, then you have no choice but to take cardinal measures. There are many opportunities to protect the game from access to the Internet completely. One of the most popular questions is: "How can I block Internet access through the firewall?" Let's not confuse the concept. In a personal computer, the firewall is translated from English as a "firewall". Therefore, we will consider ways to block it with it.

First step

So, how to block the game access to the Internet? Windows 7 gives us the opportunity to use a time-tested "friend" - a firewall. Despite the fact that, according to users, his activities leave much to be desired in terms of security, so with a trifle, like blocking the game, he cope with a bang.

  1. We go to the "Control Panel" and in the "Security" tab we find the "Firewall".
  2. We check whether it is included in principle. If not, then run.
  3. In the left menu, we find the sub-item "Allow the program to run ...".
  4. After launching, you will see a list of applications installed on your personal computer. To block the game, you just need to remove all the marks next to its name.

Remember that all operations must be performed under an administrator account.

Second phase

If the above operations are not enough, then there is another way of how to block access to the Internet through a firewall. To do this, in the main menu of the "Firewall", select additional options.

Before you will be a window in which you can configure the rules for connections. We are primarily interested in "Outbox". Select the appropriate tab in the menu on the left, move the view to the right and click "Create new rule".

  1. Choose the type for the program.
  2. Specify the path to the executable file of the game. Remember that you should not specify a shortcut on the desktop, but the .exe itself, located in the folder with the game installed.
  3. We block the connection.
  4. Distribute the created rule for all profiles on the computer.
  5. We designate it so that it can be found later.

Thus, we block the game, not allowing it to connect to the Internet. If you need to remove this restriction, then there are two options - delete the rule itself, or click "Disable the rule." Now you know how to block access to the Internet game.

Antivirus

In addition to the methods described above, there is another option of how to block access to the Internet. It's an antivirus. All security programs are similar and different at the same time. We will disassemble the game using Kaspersky. First, we will need Kaspersky Internet Security of any year of release.

  1. In the "Protection Center" of the program we go to the setup menu. As in the previous version, we will have to make a rule according to which the antivirus will block any game actions related to the Internet.
  2. We are interested in the "Firewall" and its configuration.
  3. Open the tab with the "Rules".
  4. As with the firewall, you need to find the game that interests us. Click "Change".
  5. We add a rule.
  6. When setting it up, we define the action as "Block" and specify the type (name).
  7. We confirm all the changes. Now the game you need will not be able to access the World Wide Web.

As you understand, any actions related to blocking games on the computer, inextricably interact with the security of your operating system. Any changes you make must be fixed so that at a certain point you can return everything to your own circles without the AMD, lost data, a broken computer and hysterics, why nothing works as you need.
