Targeting by Process ID (PID)

The Process ID is used for managing an actively running instance of a program.

Block network access for process 1234:
procnetblocker.exe --block 1234

Unblock network access for process 1234:
procnetblocker.exe --unblock 1234

Check network status for process 1234:
procnetblocker.exe --status 1234

Targeting by Execute Name (EXE)

Use the --exe flag along with the full path to manage an application, regardless of its current PID. This is ideal for persistent blocking.

Important Note: Always provide the full path to the EXE file when using the --exe flag, and enclose the path in quotation marks if it contains spaces.
