    Ok then use a firewall like https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall (I assume that this was on Windows) to block these apps’ internet access. There are other good options like the Safing Portmaster (which also works on Linux), OpenSnitch (Linux) and LuLu or Little Snitch on macOS. There are many more options for Linux, iptables, nftables, firewalld, or ufw with a GUI like gufw.

    they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares

    In that case, I’m using a VM where there is absolutely no information about me

      I would absolutely use a VM with no internet connection for these, but then all bets are off if those softwares need direct access to GPU, for example. GPU passthrough is a thing, but I haven’t had much luck personally.
