How to access the Wine Control Panel of a prefix
Bottles has a list of "Wine legacy tools" which includes the Wine Control Panel, where you can edit your Internet Settings for your prefix. Heroic only has WINECFG which gives you the Configuration, but not the Control Panel.

Open Winetricks, select "Select the default wineprefix" -> "Run a Wine cmd shell". Run
control in the shell, the control panel should open
What's your exact use case for this? If you're doing this to fix an issue with a game, we'd like to add a protonfix for it (so it automatically happens for everyone running that game)...7 Replies

This is for disabling internet access. There doesn't seem to be a switch in Heroic to do that.
Right, but why do you want to do that?

Some ReShade functions are disabled when it detects internet traffic. Even if you play Single Player, a game may try to access some server.
I've tried disabling
wininet before which didn't work, and setting the proxy to 127.0.0.1 may not be guaranteed to work because a program cannot be forced to use that proxy..? I wish there were a simple switch in Heroic to force it from the outside tbh.If Wine doesn't have a feature to do this, it cannot be implemented in Heroic. If Wine does have something that fits your use case, feel free to create a PR to Heroic

I haven't been able to find a recent thread making a definitive statement about whether Wine has such a feature, in 2020 it was not possible yet. Proposed solutions have been to launch Wine with
unshare -n (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68956/block-network-access-of-a-process) or firejail (https://forums.lutris.net/t/feature-request-option-to-block-internet/10383).For now I'll tag this as resolved (since your original issue is solved). If you do find a method of preventing internet access completely, feel free to add it here (or create a new thread for it)
