Allright! I imagined I would get better performance if I could get the filter to not capture the packets/flows at all. I might do some tests later, for the time being I'll just quickly return an allow verdict at the top of the handler.
Thanks!
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the answer!
I have already tried delaying the packet, since I've seen it suggested in other threads. The problem is, it does not give any extra information when it is used in NEFilterPacketProvider (the NEFlowMetaData field is null). Apparently, that only works in some specific cases such as app proxy providers and NEPacketTunnelProvider in per-App VPN mode - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/neflowmetadata.
I guess the current API simply does not support my use case and I will have to submit the enhancement request...
Best regards,
Darío
