Is there a relatively simple way to block network access to a program? Avoiding the command line ideally.

Heroic Launcher has a “run game offline” toggle for games that are installed/added through it, but I am trying to cut out the middle man and install non-steam games directly through Steam.

Steam launch commands? Any built in firewall?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Per another comment, it may be that opensnitch has issues on Arch but I’ll give it a whirl.

Haven’t tried it on Deck, but iptables can do a per-uid based rule which I’ve used in the past

I.E. login+run restricted games under a particular login, OR sudo to that user for running but allow X-forwarding+PulseAudio to my current login

OpenSnitch is a solid option, but I don’t find it that reliable to install on Arch. Instead I’d suggest looking at Safing’s Portmaster.

I don’t know if it works as I think it does, but you can try relaunching steam in offline mode
