    Hello,
    I was searching for some information about how to do this:
    1-allow fl64.exe with 127.0.0.1;
    2-deny fl64.exe with anything else;

    I'm using Windows 10, and MCAffee. I have added some entries to hostfiles but it still doesn't change anything. My DAW still conects to internet. I want to block it from calling home and allow only to call 127.0.0.1 (because my Kontakt needs it)

    Thank you for your help and any ideas.

    Use a firewall. I don't think it's very practical denying "anything else" with the host file.

    The problem is when I block the application it gets blocked the way that it can't connect to 127.0.0.1 so some of the VST which wants to connect to local can't do it. I have tried to block only input, idk it is's good idea or not but it works.

    Do you want the VSTs to get internet? If that's the case just bridge them

    Yes, there are cases where the local 127.0.0.1 connection is needed from apps & plugins

    Maybe your actual firewall is "lazy": try with a different one
