Deny all internet access to secondary profile

Hi,

Quick suggestion for further development; It would be great to have the option to deny a secondary profile all internet access.

There is a workaround for you, this also works for any work profile as well. Install a VPN, it can be anything, maybe even InviziblePro on fdroid or something that acts as a VPN. Then in android settings, in VPN settings, deny all internet access that is outside of the tunnel, then in the VPN app, just keep the VPN tunnel turned off. So now no internet will go through for that user profile or work profile.

hmm no, it won't work!

if you connect to vpn on the owner profile.. and you switch to another profile the secondary profile does not go through the vpn,
so doing what you say will have no effect on internet connectivity. secondary profile will still have internet.

I do the same workaround with the Wireguard app and clear the app's storage afterwards so that the bogus tunnel can no longer be turned on at all because it doesn't exist, even though the VPN configuration still exists as far as Android is concerned and continues to block traffic.

I think he meant VPN and killswitch in the secondary profile… and it works.

In the mentioned workflow VPN has to be installed in the user profile that is meant to not have internet access.

In addition, settings> Network&internet> VPN> cogwheel next to Name of VPN Always-on VPN and Block connections without VPN has to be activated in the corresponding user profile.
