Tell us the problem or your need
I need to test functionality of software offline
Describe the solution you'd like
A simple toggle on the bottle options for disabling the programs running on the bottle from access the internet and another for disabling network capabilities altogether.
Other solutions?
There are ways to trick wine into not reaching internet, such as giving it a bogus proxy address. This might work for some programs but not every case (i.e. the program is hardcoded to go to a specific IP address)
Additional context and references
Since Bottles (as a flatpak) is the perfect implementation of sandboxed wine apps, without getting cumbersome, this lacking feature would improve a lot the security of foreign untested or otherwise untrusted applications without compromising the security of the network (i.e. other windows machines) or some kind of beacon lighting up the host pc.
