Why do custom visuals need a network connection?

Try this. 1) Create a PowerBI desktop document with at least 1 custom visualization. 2) Save it. 3) Close PowerBI. 4) Turn-off your network connection. 5) Launch the previously created PowerB...

Hmm, I wonder if it is not that custom visuals necessarily require an Internet connection but that a lot of custom visuals utilize external libraries like JQuery, etc. that are perhaps referenced versus embedded in the code?

Hi,

This issue is flagged as 'Solved' but we are still encountering it. After upgrading Power BI Desktop from 2.37 (July 16 update) to 2.40 (Oct 16 update), all custom visuals fail to load. We are behind company firewall, so no internet connection is possible. We have tested with the latest custom visuals from the gallery.

Anyone facing this as well? Thanks.
