updates,no application should connect internet without my permission,

what to do for that?


Hai,

You have to edit

$ gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattend

comment out update update you don't want to upgrade automatically

Ex:

// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin, archive) pairs
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
    "${distro_id} stable";
    "${distro_id} ${distro_codename}-security";
//    "${distro_id} ${distro_codename}-updates";
//    "${distro_id} ${distro_codename}-proposed-updates";
};

// List of packages to not update
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
//    "vim";
//    "libc6";
//    "libc6-dev";
//    "libc6-i686";
};


PS: I agree with Kumaran, If possible change your plan into unlimited.
