  • VSCode Version: 1.29.0
  • OS Version: macOS Mojave 10.14.1
  • Little Snitch in Alert Mode
  • Fresh user profile for VSCode without any installed extensions
  • User settings:
{
    "extensions.autoCheckUpdates": false,
    "extensions.autoUpdate": false,
    "extensions.ignoreRecommendations": true,
    "extensions.showRecommendationsOnlyOnDemand": true,
    "git.autofetch": false,
    "npm.fetchOnlinePackageInfo": false,
    "telemetry.enableCrashReporter": false,
    "telemetry.enableTelemetry": false,
    "typescript.disableAutomaticTypeAcquisition": true,
    "update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates": false,
    "update.channel": "none",
    "update.showReleaseNotes": false,
    "workbench.enableExperiments": false,
    "workbench.settings.enableNaturalLanguageSearch": false,
    "workbench.statusBar.feedback.visible": false,
}

Even after all these settings, when I open VSCode, it tries to connect to az764295.vo.msecnd.net and dc.services.visualstudio.com. How to completely turn off implicit network usage?

See this issue.

In addition to those settings, try starting VS Code using the flags code --disable-extensions --disable-telemetry.

  • --disable-telemetry should prevent dc.services.visualstudio.com from being accessed.

  • --disable-extensions should prevent az764295.vo.msecnd.net from being accessed. The endpoint is used for getting a list of malicious extensions and for extension recommendations.
