suggestion for new function: Internet Kill Switch

Hi Maarten,
It could be a good idea, something like fly mode. Probaby a script with ufw
clicking in that icon would be enough.
You could reject incoming and outgoing traffic in a profile and switch to
that profile when you need :)
In the next Unity 8 (already in Ubuntu 16.10) there is a fly mode, as in
mobile (because of convergence).
A hug!
