[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1279597, member: 38864"] I would first like to mention that if you were to disable your Mac's wi-fi or ethernet connection itself, you'd have no way to remotely re-enable it because it is offline. As for blocking just the "internet" at will… well no, not really. Not in any practical way I don't think. What would be a lot more practical is to close the program that is using the internet. You can do this using MobileMouse. It has an option to give you a list of all the apps running in your Dock and, with a tap-and-hold action, you can close it from there. To re-open the app, just tap it again (you'd have have it set in advance to "Keep in Dock", of course). This would be far more convenient and less laggy than using a VNC client. You would need to ensure that this app you are managing has an auto-resume feature, and will quit without any hassles when receiving the command to close. [/QUOTE]
