282282With all six connections turned off, the only remaining Anthropic-operated egress is `downloads.claude.ai`, for the VM workspace bundle and Claude CLI binary at session start. The only other required egress is your inference provider. With the [offline installer variant](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/installation#offline-installation), `downloads.claude.ai` is not needed either, and your inference provider is the only required egress.

284These optional features add Anthropic-operated hosts back when you turn them on:
284These optional features add hosts back when you turn them on:
285285
286286* [SSH remote sessions](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/ssh-remote-sessions) download the remote-session components from `downloads.claude.ai`. The offline installer bundles those components for Linux x64 and arm64 hosts, so devices installed with it download them only when connecting to hosts on other platforms.
287287* [Import from claude.ai](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/import) reaches `claude.ai`, `api.anthropic.com`, and `storage.googleapis.com` (for the export download) only while a user signs in to claude.ai and fetches an export in the import wizard.
No line in this hunk matches that.
