    I have question for you. Is it possible to turn off Internet access on Windows 8.1 without turning off the Wifi network and how?
    My point is to completely disconnect the net by some command on the computer, but so that the internal Wifi network works.

    Do you mean completely disconnecting the computer from the network, without shutting down the network itself? The easiest way is to disable the network card in the computer.

    Do you mean disconnecting the computer only from Internet access so that it simultaneously has access to resources in the LAN?
    If so, then there are many methods, on the PC itself you can create appropriate rules in the firewall blocking everything from outside your subnet, for example 192.168.1.x .. Or you can also, depending on the router you use (and you did not specify the model) and block it on it computer access to the Internet.

    I mean quickly disabling the Internet from a given computer, but without disconnecting it from the LAN / WIFI network - preferably with a command.

    Ok, you want to do it e.g. on the router (if so, enter the model) or directly on the computer.

    You have several methods on your computer, apart from creating rules in the firewall which I wrote about, which is the most reliable method, you can also:
    -Use the parental controls built into the system, it has options to restrict internet access
    -Changing network card settings (bad default gateway will prevent connection to external network)
    When it comes to accessing sites only, setting a non-existent proxy will also work.

    Removing the gates is the best way.

    If your internal network needs to pass through a gateway, you can also remove DNSes. Then the internet will be, but no website will start.
