Step 2: Check connectivity to google and other sites first.

Connectivity to google.
Connectivity to facebook.

Now, Currently our system is working fine and connecting to all websites. It’s time to restrict the access.

Step 3: Look for the routes in routing table and delete the default route.

Looking routes.

To see route table use: “route -n

Delete Default route.

Step 4:- Now try ping to any network, you aren’t able to connect to any network.

No Connectivity.
