how to extract the hostname from a https/tls request in NEFilterSocketFlow
Hi guys, I try to create a content filter app by using network extension api. When it comes to a https/tls remote endpoint, the remoteEndpoint.hostname will always be "" instead of the actual hostname. How can I extract the actual hostname? private func filterTraffic(flow: NEFilterSocketFlow) -> NEFilterNewFlowVerdict { // Default action from settings will be used if no rules match logger.error("filter traffic...") guard let remoteEndpoint = flow.remoteEndpoint as? NWHostEndpoint else { logger.error("not a NWHostEndpoint)") return .allow() } logger.error("host name: \(remoteEndpoint.hostname)") if remoteEndpoint.hostname.hasSuffix("google.com"){ logger.error("google.com") return .drop() } return .allow() } code-block
