It seems that App Proxy (NETransparentProxyProvider) cannot start VPN (startTunnel / startVPNTunnel) when there is no an active network connection on the system. This includes adapters with self-assigned IP addresses that can actually perfectly work in some scenarious like ad-hoc Wi-Fi.

Is this an expected behavior? Is there a workaround?

Interesting. I would recommend opening a TSI so I can do a bit more investigation around this topic.
