OpenSnitch won't help if the dependencies you pull in come through the same server as where the tool uploads the telemetry to. Go works with a Google proxy server for this purpose by default.

You can disable the Go proxy and go for a more direct source fetch with an env variable, but in the same way you can also disable the telemetry.

Yeah, I think the only way around that would be for OpenSnitch to block all http/https requests and have a system-wide proxy that sees all the URLs, asks the user, does the approved requests and returns the results.
