How can I restrict all networking requests to a Wi-Fi connection with AFNetworking 2.0?

I have a rather odd question. I want to know if it's possible to block any requests (current and future) using AFNetworking 2.0. My app needs to do something like this: if the user is not on a wifi connection -> block any requests that the app may have. I only found a way to block all current requests: 

[self.manager.operationQueue cancelAllOperations];

Any help is welcome and much appreciated

Since iOS 6, NSMutableURLRequest allows you to specify whether a request can be made over a cellular connection by calling setAllowsCellularAccess:. This is explained by this Apple document. You will need to set this for every request you make.

With AFNetworking, the cleanest way to hook into AFHTTPRequestOperationManager is to use your own requestSerializer subclass and override -requestWithMethod:URLString:parameters:error: to call super and modify the request with setAllowsCellularAccess:.

If you are also using NSURLSession in your iOS 7 code paths, you can use an NSURLSessionConfiguration with its allowsCellularAccess property set to NO. This is set just once per session.

I don't know if it can be done using AFNetworking, but it seems that you can achieve this with custom NSURLProtocol:
