    Well the whole reason for this be it Simple or advanced is to at least test offline Keys or to Make Sure your 100% offline for functions to work to Singleplayer.

    there's a number of games where this would be handy as currently i would have to manually disable network adaptor after opening the game.
    im not a coder but could you find the game/service i.e steams connection and just fiddle with it like redirecting it to a non-funtional port/proxy?
    essentially just firewalling/blocking those particular connections
    or to make it simpler do it to everything but the trainer Auth server and the mobile app's config.

    Agreed it would be Nice to also set that up, but the only kicker is that I am seeing alot of game titles mostly Bethesda and Rockstar are kinda doing a Verification via Internet Connection to get access to game content.

    Or even better the option to keep running Ghost Recon Breakpoint with the Kill switch enabled would be nice too but apparently that requires internet connection to upload your character data to the server's during changes and adjustments stuff.

    But it worth exploring on how well it can be applied or depends on how complex it can be coded.

    This does sound good, but with games coming with always online connections required for like game content verification or information updates like characters or for that matter the leader boards.

    I have the kill switch for me vpn but I have not used that and I believe it only kicks in if the vpn gos down.

    I would have said the firewall. Bur not everyone's experience level is that high to deal with that side.

    So not sure how you would exactly have the app set the no access side.

    This thread will have to be restarted in our new message board for Aurora Feature Requests when it goes online later today unless you guys want me to move it over for all to see (all beta testers that is). This entire board will be closed/archived later today with new Aurora boards put in place for our Beta rollout.

    Yes, for the number of times some games will attempt to Pull data from Singleplayer games it wouldn’t hurt to Have it and not need it, Rather than Not have it and need it.
