It looks like Netguard is available from Google Play. I get all the apps for my Kindle Fire from there, not from the Kindle Store. Google Play can be directly installed on the newer Kindle Fires. But the older Fires require you to side-load if you want to install things from Google Play. I assume that since you can install Google Play on newer Fires, then you can make in-app purchases as well. Although I haven't tried that part (in-app purchases) yet. But I have installed many apps directly onto my Fire from Google Play, no side-loading required.
I will definitely investigate this Netguard app. I like control over my network (and not just for eBook related things).
Thanks for the tip!

The paid version allows you to block by individual address within an app, but you can't pay for the sideloaded version through the Kindle app store, so you have only the 'app by app' version only available. That suffices for most purposes though.
