If you are on limited plans, here's how you can restrict them from eating your bandwidth. A firewall is a good thing, but if it's stopping you from doing something then SSH Tunneling is a good option to explore.
Are apps that act as firewalls important on Android devices? We explain, along with 2 apps that are quite good at it. Check Out its Features.

NOTE: Be absolutely sure that you are making changes to a user account you actually want to restrict, and that you always have an unrestricted administrative account available to undo those changes.
This is especially true if you are restricting users to a specific set of apps, as those users will lose access even to tools like Registry Editor and Local Group Policy Editor.
For this reason, we also highly recommend creating a restore point before making any of the changes here. Standard warning: Registry Editor is a powerful tool and misusing it can render your system unstable or even inoperable.
And definitely back up the Registry and your computer! Name the new value DisallowRun. Double-click the new DisallowRun value to open its properties dialog. Name the new key DisallowRun , just like the value you already created. If you want to edit the list of blocked apps, just return to the DisallowRun key and make the changes you want.
If you want to restore access to all apps, you can either delete the whole Explorer key you created—along with DisallowRun subkey and all the values. Or you could just go back and change the value of the DisallowRun value you created from 1 back to 0, effectively turning off app blocking while leaving the list of apps in place should you want to turn it on again in the future.
Restricting users to running only certain apps in the Registry follows almost exactly the same procedure as blocking specific apps. Fire up Registry Editor and then head to the following key:. Name the new value RestrictRun. Double-click the new RestrictRun value to open its properties dialog.
Name the new key RestrictRun , just like the value you already created. Create a new string value inside the RestrictRun key for each app you want to block. You should only be able to run apps to which you explicitly allowed access.
To reverse your changes, you can delete the Explorer key you created along with the RestrictRun subkey and all values or you can set that RestrictRun value you created back to 0, turning off restricted access. If you use the Pro or Enterprise version of Windows, blocking or restricting apps can be a little easier because you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to do the job.
One big advantage is that you can apply policy settings to other users—or even groups of users—without having to log in as each user to make the changes the way you do when making these changes with Registry Editor. You can read all about that in our guide to applying local Group Policy tweaks to specific users. Start by finding the MSC file you created for controlling policies for those particular users.
Double-click to open it and allow it to make changes to your PC. You can now exit the Local Group Policy window.
