Is there any way to restrict network access for a Windows VM using KVM other than a couple of applications (Windows explorer and Firefox)?

There might be Windows-specific software that might not run with WINE, which is why I’m considering this option
That’s… What firewall is for
Yes, well, I was hoping I could do this from the linux side instead of configuring the Windows firewall, but apparently not
