Is there any way to turn Julia completely offline? I could manage packages myself, I just need to have Julia stop sending git clone/pull and any kind of web requests.

I believe that if you don’t use the package manager, Julia will never try to connect to anything.

Yeah, but I would like to disable it since I’m not the only one who will gong to use it, and someone can still try to use the package manager.

The package manager doesn’t do anything that user code can’t do. If you want to prevent network connections entirely a firewall seems like the way to go.

You can call any C functions so that’s not really something that’s possible to do.
