How can I block incoming and outgoing Internet traffic?

Hello

I wonder if someone can help me.  When I work on the computer (or when I leave the computer on unattended for a few hours) I would like to disconnect my PC from the Internet. How can I do this?

Thank you

As Bruce says, you could simply put the computer to sleep; This should stop the activity network.

If you prefer to leave the computer running for a reason, you could also disable the network adapter or disconnect from the network physically.

You can disable the adapter by accessing your network and sharing Center, and then change the map settings (these are Windows 8.1 names/titles and may vary slightly for Windows 7). Once there, you can turn off active adapter by clicking right on it and selecting Disable. You will need to turn it back on when you want to use the internet.
