I really don't know how to look for what I am trying to achieve. I will add two images to show you in a better way what I am doing here.
As you can see I have added a blocking rule in firewall which will block a range of addresses(first rule on the second image) of a specific application.
Is there a way to do something similar on windows phone? I am not looking for some code or anything. Just for some guidance. Where should I look? What should I look for? Windows phone don't have firewall and I don't want to use any external firewall app's if there is one...

To create an inbound port ruleOpen the Group Policy Management Console to Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security. In the navigation pane, click Inbound Rules. Click Action, and then click New rule. On the Rule Type page of the New Inbound Rule Wizard, click Custom, and then click Next.
Click the Start button, then type Windows Firewall in the Search box. Click Windows Firewall, and then click Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall. Click the Change settings button. If a User Account Control window appears, click Yes, or enter your user name and password, then click OK.
Firewall rules are stored under the Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\FirewallRules key. Each value under the key is a firewall rule.
There is nothing like a firewall for Windows Phone. You don't have such a deep access to the network layer. Compared to desktop PC operating systems users and developers are much more restricted in the things they are allowed to do. That leads to less vulnerable systems.
The good side of a restricted system is that it's much harder (or almost implossible) to create a virus, trojaner etc. for it.
On the other hand you are not able to control the system in its depth since there is no API an anti virus software or firewall would need to consume.
In short: It's not possible to block IP addresses for specific applications.
