I looked into wf.msc (windows’ firewall) and it does not allow any prioritization. So you cannot exclude all traffic except from two exceptions. Any broad block rule supercedes any specific allow rule.

I also tried setting up firewall rules using powershell wich allows more finegrained control. But that failed as well…

I want to connect android studio to github so i can work on my FOSS apps from anywhere in the world. I also want to use virtualbox to connect to the great onlines safely.

How did you resolve this issue?

    Windows fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

    So, to restrict its access to external resources such as networking, must be sandboxed in an enviroment we do control, such a virtualising it under a libre software operating system.

    This is only harm reduction. We still do not control Windows itself, anti-libre software.
