hi all.

I’m working on a content filter system extension on MacOS.

I try to disable the filtering in system settings, and it will cause smb shared folder connection interrupted.

what I do in stopFilterWithReason:completionHandler: is waiting for the connection that is being filtered be allowed, then invoked the completionHandler.

did I do something wrong here? is there a way to avoid the connection interruption?

Starting and stopping a content filter will break existing network connections. This is a deliberate design choice, allowing the filter to ‘see’ all traffic.

However, this policy doesn’t work for all content filter implementations, and added some control over this is a popular enhancement request. We already have a bug on file about this, FB13516440. If you want to be notified of any future fix, I recommend that you file your own bug and ask that it be marked as a dup of that one.
