What we need, and this may already exist, is away to sanbox apps with the ability to firewall of incoming and outgoing http request.
Does this exist?
What would be even better was a solution that had profiles for common usages and apps, and the profiles could be created by all and shared via a community or repo and could be extended and tweaked.
Does this exist, is it feasible, or does anyone have a better simpler idea?
- treesknees 4y agoOn MacOS you can use Little Snitch [1] to do exactly this. You can watch all network connections per app, even grab a pcap of traffic just for the app as well. You can setup restrictions to block incoming and outgoing traffic. It basically is a per-app firewall.

- kylehotchkiss 4y agoI just came here to ask how Little Snitch can disable these. Do you know which domains are specific for telemetry in VSC?
- woojoo666 4y agoOn linux if you want to block all network access to an app you can use FlatSeal. It's great for VSCode / VSCodium if you don't want to worry about malicious extensions extraditing your data. To install new extensions, just download them from open-vsx or the official vscode website, and then drag-drop them into VSCode
