    Looks like it applies to vscode too https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_82 https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_82

      I guess it only applies to VS Code. The version number is wrong and the description of “open source” don’t apply to Visual Studio. Mistake is in the article.

      It applies only to VS Code.

  This has been possible in live share since the beginning. I guess now they’ve just made it built-in and a standalone thing.

  According to the docs[0], you need to log in to Github in order to share a port. Can anyone explain why this would be necessary? I understand it if the port is set up as private (as explained in the doc), but not if it's set up as public. Is the traffic being routed through h Github? 0: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/port-forwarding https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/port-forwarding

    The answer is almost certainly "abuse". Traffic is routed through a "service hosted in Azure" (probably not GitHub specifically). They're just using GitHub sign-in to apply per-user limits etc.

  "Port forwarding" is a misleading name for this. "Proxy through Azure tunnel" seems more appropriate.
