OP wants to know if individual softwares or running applications can be selectively blocked from going to their remote servers in linux....and can this be done live in gui mode where the firewall asks him what to do each time?
Google: Helmet.
BTW, I don't run with a firewall at all. I trust my applications (yay for tcpdump) and I don't see any untoward traffic going out of my system [1].
As for doing things in GUI mode with interruptions to whatever I am doing, no thank you. I can do without applications which keep interrupting me from doing work.
Devdas Bhagat [1] My current system doesn't have a TPM chip. If the next one does, that box will not be on the Internet.
