Re-reporting VSCode MacOS strange local networking behaviour #233846

[agowa]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.95.2 e865366 arm64
• OS Version: MacOS 15.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have two computers + a gateway on a local network
2. Install iTerm2 (for reference purposes)
3. Install VS Code
4. Open VS Code and iTerm2
5. Run in both a ping to the 2nd computer on the local network.
6. --->> Ping works within iTerm2 but within VSCode returns "No route to host"

Pinging the gatway works in both cases. As does pinging something beyond the gateway e.g. public 1.1.1.1...

Does anyone know what causes this issue? I tried to compare the output of netstat -rn but it looks identical. What is going on here???

As #233846 was closed without the bug being solved I'm going to reopen this. I think that issue was labeled incorrectly by mistake as the label and automated response that caused it to be closed do not match the issue nor was a meaningful explanation provided.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.96.2. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!
