Hi all, Sony loves these data collection messages at the beginning of their games. They don’t even give you the option to opt-out. It is mandatory and is either “Full data” or “limited”. I don’t want to give them either. Is there a straight forward way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    Easier than…?

    There are dozens of ways to block that traffic, from DNS to firewall rules to just disconnecting entirely.

      Easier than messing with the terminal. I remember on windows, you set an “outbound” rule for an .exe and you’re done. I tried to do that with firejail, but the firetool doesn’t have a spot in the app where it shows what you blocked. You just have to trust it. Unless I’m blind. I looked everywhere in the app and the wizard.

        Well there are probably GUI firewall rule apps, but it’s be faster just to use a command, since the apps are going to take all the same info anyway. Or you could just disconnect entirely.
