module lookup disabled by GOPROXY=off, but go env shows GOPROXY is set

Question

When trying to lookup some modules, I am having an issue from VS Code where the error pictured below indicates that my GOPROXY is set to off, but when I run go env, I see that GOPROXY is actually set:GOPROXY="https://repo1.mycompany.com/artifactory/api/go/golang-virtual,https://proxy.golang.org,direct"

I have tried setting GONOPROXY='', as this comment suggests, but after running export GONOPROXY= or export GONOPROXY="", and checking go env in a new terminal tab, GONOPROXY is still set to: GONOPROXY="*.mycompany.com"

Running go mod tidy as VS Code suggests, results in the same error message.

Is it possible that my go env values are being set somewhere that I don't know about, maybe a different version of Go's env vars? Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

The latest docs have updated the GOPROXY flag proxy.golang.org, which states:

To opt-out of this module mirror, you can turn it off by setting GOPROXY=direct

So to bypass the proxy and fetch directly from the URLs in go.mod:

export GOPROXY=direct

go clean --modcache
go get -u
go build
