Filter TCP Packets in C#

I am writing an application where all the request to the internet should go from it like in firewall. so that i can block the request for a particular website. In my case the program will be running on the same machine. I have tried the promiscous method but using that we can only capture all the packets comming and going from the machine,

The easiest way to do it is probably to write a Layered Service Provider (LSP). There is an example in the Microsoft SDK on developing LSPs as well. Not as secure as a driver type firewall setup, but a lot easier to implement.

There's "probably" a way to do it with C#, but I have never tried it. Something to look into. If not then just create a native DLL with C/C++ that implements the LSP then have it communicate with your app.

You have to insert your code in the TCP/IP stack, which, if I understand correctly, requires a windows driver.

C# cannot compile native windows drivers, so you'll need to use a library or DLL to implement at least part of your functionality. Look for solutions using C++.
