Hello.
Can someone please explain to me what "per-app" means in "per-app on managed devices" in the context of this document(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3134-network-extension-provider-deployment)?
Thank you!
Per-app VPN refers to:
A packet tunnel provider in per-app mode (that is, using source-application routing)
One of the built-in VPN transports in per-app mode
The key thing about per-app mode is that there has to be way to identify the app being targeted. There are two parts to this:
Set VPNUUID property in the com.apple.vpn.managed.applayer configuration profile payload.
Set the VPNUUID property on the app itself.
The latter can only be done on managed apps, which is why per-app VPN is only supported on managed devices [1] [2].
Share and Enjoy
