Hello,

Anyone can give pointer as to how to set proxy server with the network extension framework? Looks like it only allows setting proxy for some VPN connection. My use case is to let network traffic for a specific app (or global, depends) pass through a proxy server (HTTP/S).

Thanks, Ted

Using a VPN, or NEPacketTunnelProvider is not a recommended course of action here. For iOS, you will want NEAppProxyProvider and for macOS you will want NETransparentProxyProvider.
