We have a transparent proxy extension and a container app and both are written in swift. We use MDM for configuring the transparent proxy extension. Customer machine can have different product with another transparent proxy extension. This can be deployed via MDM or manual installation. Our requirement here is if a machine has more than one transparent proxy installed from multiple container apps(through multiple products), then is there any way we can control the order of receiving the network traffic to these transparent proxy extensions? If yes, how can we achieve this?

Finally we could resolve the MDM profile - network broken issue with MDM profile having VPN payload by setting IncludeAllNetworks to 0. IncludeAllNetworks 0

We are already using Non-removable system extensions from UI attribute and it is not working in the current beta version of Mac OS 26 (Tahoe) for the extensions shown in General -> LogIn Items & Extension -> Apps tab. Will this be fixed in upcoming beta releases?

We already referred https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/vpn/transparentproxy documentation and created the profile. If we provide the RemoteAddress field, we were able to install the profile and also while installing our product, the Transparent Proxy gets mapped with the one which is installed via profile. However after that the network is broken and hence unable to browse anything. We are suspecting the remote server(RemoteAddress) filed is causing this. So we tried creating the custom profile without remote server address for VPN payload, but we are unable to install the profile. It throws below error: 2025-02-11 16:43:55.193348+0530 0x2f880 Error 0x0 6815 0 mdmclient: (NetworkExtension) [com.apple.networkextension:] Failed to save configuration DGWebProxy because it is invalid: Error Domain=NEConfigurationErrorDomain Code=2 "configuration is invalid: Missing server address" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=configuration is invalid: Missing server address}

We don’t have any remote server setup to forward the traffic, instead we open a connection with a certain localhost:port to redirect the traffic which is received in our transparent proxy. We have another module that listens to the particular localhost:port to process the traffic further.
