Can VS Code open '...' even if it's not in the list of allowed hosts?

Since updating to Visual Studio Code v. 1.78.2 this warning has been popping up. It is appearing because the folder I am working out of is using a UNC path. I rely on this path.

The VS help page states:

configure the host to be allowed via the security.allowedUNCHosts setting (for example add server-a when you open a path such as server-apath)

Where is this setting?

Go to preferences Ctrl + , and search for ‘allowedUNCHosts’. You’ll find it under Security.

To those looking for a solution when using \wsl$, adding wsl.localhost to the allowedUNCHHosts option worked for me. This source indicates that it can be changed in JSON settings as well.
