Set NENetworkRule for an NEAppProxyProvider

I believe the workflow is as follows:

1. The system starts your proxy and calls

   -startProxyWithOptions:completionHandler:

   .

2. You allocate an

   NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings

   and fill out the

   includedNetworkRules

   and

   excludedNetworkRules

   properties.

3. You call

   -setTunnelNetworkSettings:completionHandler:

   to apply that.

4. When that completes, you call the completion handler you got in step 1.

Thanks for your help.

Just one more thing: in my app, when I try to enable the system extension, i have a code similar to this:

let proxyMgr = NETransparentProxyManager.shared()

proxyMgr.isEnabled = true

proxyMgr.saveToPreferences { saveError in

DispatchQueue.main.async {

if let error = saveError {

os_log("Failed to save the filter configuration: %@", error.localizedDescription)

self.status = .stopped

return

}

self.registerWithProvider()

}

}

It always exits with error 'Missing protocol or protocol has invalid type'.

What protocol should I set for a transparent proxy?

I must admit to not having tried this, but I’m presuming that you’ll need a

NETunnelProviderProtocol

If the port string of remoteNetwork is 0 or the empty string, then the rule matches traffic on any port coming from the remote network. If remoteNetworkis nil, the rule matches any remote network.
