Hi,

I have NEAppProxyProvider based System Network extension on macOS 10.15.4. It is a transparent proxy. I have two queries:

1. How to know Network extension already running i.e. Network preference shows 'connected' on App loading time therefore App will not try to load again?

2. If NEAppProxyProvider transparent proxy gets crashed, how to enforce restart it again?

Regards,

Anand

You can monitor the state of the VPN connection via the

connection

of the

NEVPNManager

.

If

App proxy providers are a form of VPN and thus are subject to the same VPN On Demand mechanisms. See

onDemandEnabled

and

onDemandRules
