It would be great if there was an option to completely block the app off the internet while the connection is active. \r\n\r\nThere are tools that uses the android vpn feature to block apps locally such as [this](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netspark.firewall) but it is impossible to use them together with openvpn, since android allows one connection at a time. With the added feature the user would be able to do the both. It would be very useful for anyone who doesn't have the option to root their phone. \r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/comments/162624146","html_url":"https://github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/418#issuecomment-162624146","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/schwabe/ics-openvpn/issues/418","id":162624146,"user":{"login":"RoxKilly","id":12346501,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12346501?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly","html_url":"https://github.com/RoxKilly","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/RoxKilly/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-07T18:58:34Z","updated_at":"2015-12-07T18:58:34Z","body":"> Yes. That is certainly possible. But do not except to see an implementation in OpenVPN for Android from me anytime soon.\r\n\r\nCould you please elaborate on why you wouldn't want to do it?  Is it for technical reasons, or do you feel that a VPN app should limit itself to VPN duties and not perform any firewalling?\r\n\r\nI have the same use case as the OP."}}
