I have an NEPacketTunnelProvider that's configured using NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings. I'm using NEDNSSettings to configure the DNS resolver of the packet tunnel, and would like to specify the exact domains that should use this resolver using the matchDomains member variable. While it's not explicitly mentioned in the documentation [1], I've noticed that if a domain is present in matchDomains, then all subdomains of it will also be resolved using this resolver, as if a wildcard match rule is in place. I wanted to ask if this the intended behavior, and if so, is there any way to disable it so that only exact domain matches will be resolved? I.e., if "example.com" is in the matchDomains list, I would like requests for this domain be resolved using the configured DNS resolver, while ignoring requests to the subdomain"test.example.com".

I am looking for a lightweight server that can run inside an app. The key requirement is that it must support local IP communication over HTTPS. I have searched Google and found several frameworks, but as far as I know, support for HTTPS in this environment has been discontinued or is no longer available. If anyone knows a solution that meets these criteria, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you in advance!😀

Using NEHotspotConfigurationManager.joinAccessoryHotspot(_ accessory: ASAccessory, passphrase: String) to connect the WiFi, but this function implicitly sets joinOnce to YES. Is there any api that can use ASAccessory to connect to WiFi while maintaining JoinOnce = false. Is it possible to open up this feature？

Hi, I'm trying to setup a simple websocket connection from the project game template. Using NWWebSocket 0.5.4 or urlSession.webSocketTask on the client and Vapor on the server. Haven't been able to connect since macOS ~14-15 with the same Xcode settings. I can send HTTP routes but the websocket itself does not connect. The closest I've got is connect but then immediate disconnect. I know the websocket works with CLI. Have plist allowing arbitrary loads and local networking. Also App Sandbox with network boxes checked in Debug mode. The error I get is: Error receiving: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "There was a bad response from the server." UserInfo={NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=http://localhost:8090/echo, NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://localhost:8090/echo, _NSURLErrorWebSocketHandshakeFailureReasonKey=5, NSLocalizedDescription=There was a bad response from the server.} Failed to send message: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "There was a bad response from the server." Thanks.

I have written an App which extracts data, over WiFi, from an instrument that creates its own WiFi Hotspot. The instrument provides no internet connection. The iPad version of this App is connects fine and is assigned an IP address by DHCP server running on a MicroChip RN171 wifi module. iOS assigns an obscure IP address on a completely different subnet. I understand this is iOS' way of "Complaining" that is wasn't assigned an IP address. Consequently in the case of the iPhone I am forced to manually assign an IP address for the iPhone, the mask and the gateway. Only then is the connection successful. Anyone know why the iPhone won't talk DHCP to a WiFi module not connected to the internet? Are there perhaps some parameters that I need to adjust on either the iPhone or WiFi module?

We're encountering an issue with our Network Extension (utilizing NEPacketTunnelProvider and NETransparentProxy) on macOS 14.5 (23F79). On some systems, the VPN fails to automatically start after a reboot despite calling startVPNTunnel(). There are no error messages. Our code attempts to start the tunnel: ....... do { try manager.connection.startVPNTunnel() Logger.default("Started tunnel successfully") } catch { Logger.error("Failed to launch tunnel") } ...... System log analysis reveals the tunnel stopping due to userLogout (NEProviderStopReason(rawValue: 12)) during reboot. However, the Transparent Proxy stops due to userInitiated (NEProviderStopReason(rawValue: 1)) for the same reboot. We need to understand: Why the VPNTunnel isn't starting automatically. Why the userLogout reason is triggered during reboot. Additional Context: We have manually started the VPN from System Settings before reboot.

Hi, I am working on a case in our organisation where hundreds if not a thousand wireless network clients are affected by regular, usually 30 sometimes 60 minute sometime they are unnoticeable but often people having meetings notice that a lot. We excluded wireless network configuration issue since disconnections happens to clients both connected to Cisco and Ubiquiti Access Points. WLC logs mostly show EAP timeout errors - clients are getting disauthenticated and authenticated back - usually without any action needed - but the meeting is being interrupted.

Good day, this is a concept maybe newbie question… what would be the best approach to develop the real time app… what I want is to be able to connect one device to other one within the app, and for example, if the app has a draggable object, then if one user drags the object, the other user see the object moving in real time I his own device, maybe using a ghost mode when interacting… this way both users using the app can interact with the objects in real-time. It’s not a game, so there’s no score… could I use gamecenter? or multipeer connectivity over BT? Is there a native framework? wich would be the easiest and less battery and system consuming approach someone could suggest? thank you in advance….

Hi, I’m working on a case in our organisation where we encounter regular wireless network disconnections - 30 and 60 minutes. ~ 1800 sec session is widely seen across hundreds if not thousand Macbooks.

Our app supports live streaming (RTSP, RTMP, WebRTC) functionality. After updating to the 18.5 Developer Beta version, we’ve encountered an issue where streaming over LTE is not working for customers using SKT (SK Telecom) as their carrier. Upon investigation, it seems that a similar issue might be occurring with a streaming service app called "SOOP." I would appreciate it if you could share any information regarding this bug. Thank you.

My laptop (M1 Pro, macOS 15.3.2) is connected to a dual stack network via Wi-Fi. The home.arpa. domain is supplied as a search domain via both DHCPv4 (options 15 and 119) and DHCPv6 (option 24). "Details…" for the network connection in System Settings show this domain under the DNS tab. The laptop uses a Forwarding DNS Resolver of my router, which in turn forwards requests for home.arpa. (including subdomains) to a local DNS server (CoreDNS) which is authoritative for this zone. The DNS server is configured via the following zone file: $ORIGIN home.arpa. $TTL 3600 @ IN SOA @ nobody.invalid.

Title: Loss of Internet Connectivity on iOS Device When Packet Tunnel Crashes Feedback ticket: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/14162605 Product: iPhone 12 Version: iOS - 17.5.1 Configuration: NETunnelProviderManager Configuration Description: We are developing an iOS VPN client and have configured our packet tunnel provider according to Apple's guidelines. The configuration is as follows: includeAllNetworks = YES excludeLocalNetworks = NO enforceRoutes = NO This setup works as expected when the VPN successfully connects. However, we encounter a blocker issue where the device loses internet connectivity if the packet tunnel crashes. Steps to Reproduce: Configure the NETunnelProviderManager with the above settings. Connect the VPN, which successfully establishes a connection. Verify that resources are accessible and internet connectivity is functional. Packet tunnel to crash unexpectedly.Observe that the NE process (Packet Tunnel) restarts automatically, as expected and attempts to reconnect the VPN; however, the device now lacks internet connectivity, preventing VPN reconnection. Try accessing resources using Safari or any other internet-dependent app, resulting in an error indicating the device is not connected to the internet. Actual Results: The device loses internet connectivity after the packet tunnel crashes and fails to regain it automatically, preventing the VPN from reconnecting. Expected Results: The device should maintain internet connectivity or recover connectivity to allow the VPN to reconnect successfully after the packet tunnel process restarts. Workaround - iPhone device needs a restart to regain internet connectivity .

We've observed intermittent crashes in our production environment, pls help to take a look at this, thx

I'm facing an issue where if a WiFi network is turned off and back on within a short time frame (2-4 seconds), iOS still shows the device as connected but does not send a new DHCP request. This causes a problem for my network device, which relies on the DHCP request to assign an IP address. Without the request, the device is unable to establish a socket connection properly. Is there any way to force iOS to send a DHCP request immediately when reconnecting to the network in this scenario? Are there any known workarounds or configurations that might help ensure the DHCP process is re-triggered? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does someone know how to debug ios app on mac designed for iPad? i can debug on real iOS device but cant attach Tunnel to work for mac.

Hey there! I’ve got some exciting news about Apple’s virtio_net_hdr implementation on macOS 15.4. It’s making communication a lot smoother, with a noticeable improvement! Now, I’d love to hear your thoughts on a couple of things. First, how do you think we can validate the populated values? And secondly, should we consider reusing populated values for the other endpoint, like the ‘flags’ field? Your insights would be invaluable!

We use Boost ***** (1.86.0) for WebSockets in an iOS application using a self-signed certificate. The ***** WebSocket client works fine on iOS 18.1 and every other OS (Windows, Android, Linux, etc...) but not iOS 18.3.1 and possibly versions before 18.3.1 but later than iOS 18.1. Has anyone else ran into this issue and how did you resolve? What could have changed after iOS 18.1 that would prevent a WSS Websocket from connecting that works fine on iOS 18.1?

Hi we want to use CONNECT-IP extension within the MASQUE protocol suite. we want to be able to reroute ICMP packets from our machine and redirect them to our MASQUE proxy. we want to avoid a creation of virtual interface or modifying the routing tables. is it possible, if so, how can it be achieved. thanks

Hi there, I'm trying to build a MacOS VPN application from scratch. My VPN application is slightly from normal ones, It will include an authentication token and underlying process information (pid, application path etc.) in each connection made to the VPN gateway. Consider it a poor man's zerotrust implementation. NetworkExtension and PacketTunnel is a must, thus to retrieve process information via audit tokens. However, I'm unable to find any working examples that can be built on MacOS 15.X. I tried to open an TSI case but didn't receive anything useful. Anyone?
