[solved] Limit network traffic with Sanboxie?

Hi Wouter,

Sandboxie isolates programs so they cannot modify your host. It does not manage your network. 
We do have an all-or-nothing type of setting that you can use to restrict programs from accessing the internet when Sandboxed: https://www.sandboxie.com/RestrictionsSettings#internet

Hi Barb,

Thanks, this helped a bit. I was already using this option, so only Chromium / chrome.exe can access the internet. This prevents for instance Runtimebroker.exe to run.

But, still all internet traffic is allowed -like you stated with the all or nothing-.

It helped me in that I found https://www.sandboxie.com/BlockPort , which I am exploring now. No luck until now, because every time I change the Sandboxie.ini and then run Sandboxie, the line 

   BlockPort=*,80,8080

is removed. Will look into that later, because this might be what I want:

   BlockPort=*,1080

I found that I exactly needed this. Now the sandboxed Chromium browser window can only access port 1080. Yes, on any IP instead of only 192.0.2.1 , but I'm happy with this. Solved.

Update on 22 nov 2019: Please be carefull in using this option: its broken in some versions of Sandboxie and will NOT help you block (internet) TCP traffic. Please see
