NETunnelProviderManager OSX - failed to create extension

Suddenly, my OSX VPN app (using Packet Tunnel Provider), had stopped working -

When I press the connect button, I get in the logs:


neagent: Failed to create an NSExtension with type com.myCompany.mac.ProjName.ProjExtension: (null)
neagent: NEAgentSession: failed to initialize the delegate
nesessionmanager: com.myCompany.mac.ProjName.ProjExtension: dropping a message because the current state is not "started" (0)


I tried uding

pluginkit -m -v and saw that I have /System/Library/Frameworks/NetworkExtension.framework/PlugIns/NEIKEv2Provider.appex

(maybe PacketTunnelProvider should be there as well? )


I don't know what caused this, I even tried to reinstall the OS, but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?
