We have a legacy application which tries to force login at startup - but the server is not accessible. If there is no internet it just skips login (talk about security).

I have ethernet so I'm after the easiest way to disable network for just a couple of seconds, or for that app in general, rather than pulling cables or disabling my entire network adapter. Is this possible in an easy way?

Running Sierra.

  • Neat @Tetsujin but $50 is a bit over the top for one application. I'd hoped maybe I might access a firewall, but I'm a windows guy

  • This is related but offers alternatives to LS only... not the other avenue of "just turn networking off momentarily" apple.stackexchange.com/questions/94282/…

    What's the name of the app and why does a /etc/hosts entry not work: ... 127.0.0.1 name_of_the_server ...?
