Hi. Recently Wine land on Fedora repositories which is very nice .....

I would like to ask this question:
I installed WineHQ on my OS. I sandbox WineHQ by Firejail. I run many Windows game on WineHQ. Default WineHQ is blocking Windows applications that run on Wine, blocking them from connect to Internet.

Blocking from Internet is excellent feature in default WineHQ profile, & is a must. However, certain games need Internet because it have "multi-players" option that involve play with other user ONLINE. Here is the problem .....

So, is there a way to exclude individual Windows application(s) that run on WineHQ from "blocked from Internet connection" feature ? This is not only significant for game but for other applications like Skype windows version ........

You may prefix application command to run with firejail --ignore=<option you use to block network>

So instead of
Exec=wine app.exe
Run
Exec=firejail --ignore=<option you use to block network> wine app.exe

Because you can't use long options in .desktop files (as I know) you can do:
Exec=sh -c 'firejail --ignore=<option you use to block network> wine app.exe'
