Need a facility to manage internet access of each application from a single page. Additionally, it would be great if samsung could add a button to kill the process from the same page. Sample provided in the attached. Support me if you find it worth .

1.I'm talking bringing a built-in app from samsung. I know 3rd party paid apps are there. Freeware vpns will only provide slow transfer speed.
2. VPN ate meant for hiding identity. For blocking internet access VPN is not necessary.

Bro, I told VPN in general.
1. A VPN is a cybersecurity tool that encrypts your internet connection to hide your location and stop others from intercepting your web traffic. It's meant to connect a private network before communicating with actual server / resource that you are trying to access . Hence it won't disclose your IP.
2. The Max is not free for many samsung phones. Only the paid version has this feature.

1. Samsung Max VPN doesn't hide you identity. If you want to hide your identity you will need to see an ad and you will get "VPN" feature for 4 hours or you will have purchase to get "VPN" feature. In free version, the app only acts as a internet "firewall" to filter out the apps' internet access.
2. For what you need, it's completely free. I am using it for years. You will get only one ad when you are charging your battery - a battery charging screen. And that too when your device is locked and you are about to unlock.

1. I said vpn in general . It's meant for hiding your identity. It's doesn't matter whether you are enabling disabling the vpn.
2.I had used Max earlier in some other phone. I know it has the feature you have said..but it will not work with all samsung phones. It's only work in some series for free of cost. Otherwise you need to activate premium/pro especially in premium phones.

1. Ok
2. Maybe 🤔... From my experience, it worked on A10, M21, A51, S21FE, Tab A8, Tab S6 lite.

1. Was built-in app in almost all Samsung's phones... Idk after which OneUi version they removed it as built-it app... But it still has Samsung support. (Similar to AppLock which got removed and does not have Samsung support). It doesn't affect internet speed.
2. Na... In free version it acts as firewall. If you pay, then you get "VPN" feature or see an ad, then you get "VPN" feature for some time period.
