This setting bundles several protections at once: it disables telemetry, error reporting, the bug command, the auto-updater, and non-essential network traffic.

It’s the most aggressive option for cutting down Claude Code’s outbound communication.

It’s meant for environments with strict data-privacy requirements.

When to use

In organizations with strong data-protection demands.
In sensitive development where external traffic must be minimal.
When you want a broad lockdown instead of piecemeal tweaks.

How to use

Apply the setting; note that with the auto-updater off you’ll need to update Claude Code manually.
