How to fully disable network request from vs code(telemetry, updates, etc.)

Question

Built from the latest sources.

I am trying to prevent vs code to make any network requests(checking for updates, telemetry, etc.).

I tried this

config: { 
"telemetry.enableCrashReporter": false,
 "telemetry.enableTelemetry": false,
 "update.channel": "none",
 "extensions.autoUpdate": false,
 "git.enabled": false 
}

but there are still tcp connections made to the marketplace and microsoft telemetry services.

How do I fully disable network requests without an external firewall?

Not sure if this issue related: github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/47687 – Driskell

Also, you can try disabling this: "workbench.settings.enableNaturalLanguageSearch": false, – Driskell

still sending requests :/ – Daffie

vscode is MIT but the build is closed (and whatever goes into the binary) will make it to you installtion happily syncing your data. reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/80d8wu/… – Folksy
