VSCodium tries to resolve Google's DNS domain
I am using VSCodium 1.75.0. It tries to resolve 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which are Google's proprietary DNS servers. Being a privacy-focused code editor, I'd suggest to implement settings which allow end users to override the system's DNS only if needed (I am currently on a privacy-centric DNS server on my computer). Thank you.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.
    This is not a bug, but rather a Microsoft's choice that likely will not be changed anytime soon.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open VSCodium
  2. Open Wireshark or equivalent software

Expected behavior
VSCodium not overriding the system's default DNS

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Linux
  • Architecture x64
  • Version 1.75.0
  • App Manager [e.g. Winget, Homebrew, Snap, AUR, RPM, Nix, ...]
  • Sandboxed Flatpak
