High performance as we interact the less with the kernel and data to filter because decision is handled at the whole flow level.Ĥ. It covers exactly our needs since 10.15.4 added traffic reporting, minus the whitelisting discussed hereģ. It's the most direction translation of the KPI we've been using to do user-space filtering.Ģ.
Rationale to decide on using NEFilterDataProvider.ġ. We investigated many solutions and alternatives for more than a year: We just released TripMode 3 that uses NEFilterDataProvider and people are starting to report these issues, we’ve been trying for more than a year to solve. We cannot deliver on the promise that user’s data belongs to them, and no one else, when Apple hides traffic from its own apps. Have control over their data: who gets to use it and when. hotspots, roaming, limited data packages, throttled plans)Ģ. Stop all unwanted downloads while on expensive networks (e.g. The direct impact this is starting to have on our user base, who uses our app toġ. Apple ignores the user wish to control its system Internet traffic.

We learned through FB7665551 that Apple introduced a ContentFilterExclusionList in its NetworkExtensions framework, allowing a list of specific Apple processes/apps to bypass oversight and control from apps using NEFilterDataProvider.
