How to be alone in a GTA V Online Public Session

This guide will help you on how to be alone in an online public session (also works when you're stuck in an infinite loading screen) in Grand Theft Auto V. Hope you like it!

Make sure that you are in a public session and if you aren't, join one.

The next thing you should do is to Alt+Tab from the game and open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). After that, go to the Performance section.

When you are in the Performance section, press the Open Resource Monitor button.

When you open the Resource Monitor, go to the Network section and search for GTA 5.

After you've found GTA V, press on it with your right button and then press Suspend Process. Wait for around 7-12 seconds and then click on Resume Process.

Now, you can close the Resource Monitor and the Task Manager and go back to the game. When you're back, you should be alone in a public session.

"You can but my router takes around a minute to restart and when you've mastered the other method, you can do it faster"
hmm my router just connects as soon as i plug the cable back into my comp. like one or 2 seconds later im online and things are moving right along. thanks though for the guide. it is nice to know, presumably, the safest way to go about it. i should probably do it your way for the sake of ware on my hardware.

Idk how to do it with firewall, but someone in the comments had mentioned it before.

i usually count to 5-7 and it works for me, now if someone could post a step by step on how to keep it that way using a firewall thatd be sick, but could you invite friends doing that or would it just pop up an error on their end if you did use a firewall

wait a sec... couldn't you just unplug your cable wait 8 or 10 seconds the plug it back in? Ethernet cable i mean.

After you've done this trick use your firewall to block port 6672 udp in/out and the public session will remain you only. We sync our firewalls to keep our own public session.

When you're internet is so bad that you can do this trick by simply joining a lobby
