Just install AFWall+ or NetGuard from F-Droid and set that only whitelisted apps allowed to connect. I don't see a need to create separate mod for this.

I haven't used these, but the problem here being that the user who can set up a whitelist will (presumably) be just as easily able to edit the whitelist.

Along with that I've had issues in the past with whitelists where I disabled something where the IP address wound up being a dependency for something else I was using.

You whitelist apps in those firewalls, not IPs. But I think I saw there some IP lists also.
