I've implemented a custom VPN app for macOS (using Packet Tunnel Provider). I set includeAllNetworks at the protocolConfiguration. When this field is set, I can't connect and I can't send traffic even at the extension. Even simple calls at the extension, like getaddrinfo or curl fails. If I'm unsetting this variable (includeAllNetworks = false) then I can connect without a problem. In addition I can see those lines at the Xcode Console: Connection 2: encountered error(1:53) Connection 3: encountered error(1:53) Connection 1: encountered error(1:53) And those lines at the Console: No mDNS_Keepalive for interface en8/IOSkywalkLegacyEthernetInterface kr 0xE00002C0 NetWakeInterface: en8 <private> no WOMP uDNS_CheckCurrentQuestion: host unreachable error for DNS server <private> for question failed to send packet on InterfaceID 0x5 en8/4 to <private>:53 skt 74 error -1 errno 65 (No route to host) 

The feature of phased release is very useful for our company, but a big minus for us is that the 'Percentage of Users' starts very slow, and at the last two days it's go up very fast. For now what we can do is to start the phased release, pause it after 50% of users get the new version, and after a weak - resume the release. I know it's not the purpose of the pause/resume but we want a better control at the percentages/days of the phase release. Is it possible to change those somehow? Change the percentages per day/ change number of days for the phased release?

I have some questions regarding life cycle of Packet Tunnel Provider: I have some static vars at the PacketTunnelProvider. The user connected to the VPN, then disconnected, so I called the relevant compilation handler. After some time, the user will start VPN again, PacketTunnelProvider will be recreated. Will it use the same class as before, and all static vars will hold their last value? Or would it create a new PacketTunnelProvider? Is it the same behavior for Network Extension vs System Extension? Is it the same behavior for macOS vs iOS? What about running threads? If I created a thread, and then I called the completion handler, will this thread continue to run? P.S If I'm adding exit(0) before 'quitting' the Packet Tunnel Provider, it will force cleaning the memory. But I guess it's not a good behavior for a System Extension to use exit(0) class PacketTunnelProvider: NEPacketTunnelProvider { static var isInitiated = false ... } override func startTunnel(options: [String : NSObject]?, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) { ... PacketTunnelProvider.isInitiated = true ...

I've implemented a custom system-extension VPN (Packet Tunnel Provider) for macOS. At the extension, I need to use a 3rd party dynamic lib. The steps I did: Build phases: Copy files, with Frameworks destination Link Binary With Libraries Build Settings: I set 'Dynamic Library Install Name', 'Dynamic Library Install Name Base', and 'Library Search Path' to the lib folder I set 'Header Search Path' to the headers folder But when running the extension, it's crashing with the error Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing Library not loaded: @loader_path/somelib.dylib And Reason: tried: '/Library/SystemExtensions/A1111-someID-11111/com.myapp.myappSysExtension.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/libwavmodapi.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libwavmodapi.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libwavmodapi.dylib' (no such file) (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace) Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Also, is it even possible to use dynamic libs from a sys-ext?
