It is possible to do but not simple. I assume when you say mobile devices, this includes both Android and iOS.

This functionality is not build into Unity. There are two steps to do this:

What to do:

1.Disable Wifi

2.Disable Mobile Data

The entire internet connection should be killed when you do both of this.

How to do it:

You will have to make a plugin to do this. This is platform dependent and you must know basic Java (for Android) and Object-C(for iOS) in order to do this.

Google "How to disable wifi on Android with Java" and also "How to disable mobile data on Android with Java". Convert that into a plugin. That's basically a simple function that you can call from C# to toggle wifi or mobile data on/off.

Do the-same thing for iOS. Take the Object-C code and turn into a plugin then call it from C#.

As for how to build the plugin for each platform, this can be found with a little bit of research. There is no other way to do this. My other post shows how to enable/disable wifi on Android only but that's just part of what to do in this answer. You still need a way to disable mobile data.

On top of this...*why?* Why would you want to prevent *all other apps* from accessing the internet while your game is running? — Draco18s no longer trusts SE, Mar 05 '18 at 18:09
If the comment is directed to me then I don't really know why. Maybe OP had a good reason and would like to hear it too — Programmer, Mar 05 '18 at 18:21
No, not at you Programmer, just a followup to be read *after* your answer. — Draco18s no longer trusts SE, Mar 05 '18 at 18:22
Oh ok. I will wait to see if OP will reply. I want to know too — Programmer, Mar 05 '18 at 18:23
