Hi everyone,

Is there any way to restrict network access for a Windows VM using KVM other than a couple of applications (Windows explorer and Firefox)? ~~I don't want to get into configuring the Windows firewall and would like to do this using KVM/other linux utilities on the host machine if possible~~ As I thought, it is unlikely that I will be able to do this from the KVM side of things. Would anyone have an idea of how I could script this for subsequent Windows VMs?

Thanks!

Yes, well, I was hoping I could do this from the linux side instead of configuring the Windows firewall, but apparently not

If you are finding using windows FW hard, you could try https://github.com/pylorak/TinyWall
