We are developing a content filter using the NETransparentProxyProvider. It uses Apple's VPN framework therefore displays a confirmation dialog saying [Software] Would Like to Add Proxy Configurations during installation.
This is generally ok, but undesirable when the software is being deployed via a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system as the users can simply click Don't Allow and block the installation.
Is there a way to bypass that dialog when using an MDM?

Note my comment on your other thread.
Regarding:

For specific types of content filters there are options to bypass the network configuration prompt, but for App Proxy Providers there is not. This would be an Enhancement Request.

For future reference, here is the reply from Apple to my enhancement request:
Create a com.apple.vpn.managed profile payload with VPNSubType set to your app’s bundle identifier and ProviderType set to app-proxy in the VPN dictionary. Please see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/vpn?language=objc for details.

And setting your configuration profile in the way allowed your NETransparentProxyProvider to auto-allow the network configuration prompt?

Hey @matt, we are using NEPacketTunnelProvider to enable VPN in our application. I would like to know if we can bypass the System dialog to add VPN configuration. I tried to add vpn profile using Apple configurator but it didn't work out. Is MDM the only solution?
thanks
