Hi there,

So far with the deployment of Network System Extension onto end devices of macbook pro, in general it all goes well.

However, there do have some older devices, say 2015 macbook proc, even 2019 one has some problem of network drop after running for some time, say, in a couple of hours. Symptom is that network get stuck intermittently and then get totally loss. It seems that from time to time app proxy get stuck and cannot proceed further traffic fast enough, especially for dns request filtering currently going through the same app proxy. Thus causes network loss and not recoverable.

So the question is: is there any requirement on the hardware in order to use Network System Extension correctly.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Sorry. Correct statement here: However, there do have some older devices, say 2013 macbook proc, even 2015 one has some problem of network drop after running for some time, say, in a couple of hours.
