Hi, I'm working to a VPN application and I want to ask if is there a setting in NEVPNManager (not localizedDescription) or in Info.plist where a custom description can be shown in VPN Native Settings, under "Status" row?

TunnelBear seems to do that, it shows: To connect using "TunnelBear", use the "TunnelBear" application.

Thanx!

Hi, thanx for the reply, the application uses standard NEVPNManager functions and it connects using the IKEV protocol (with onDemandRules = [NEOnDemandRuleConnect] enabled) and no Network Extension provider is embedded. Have a great day!

Are you using one of the system’s built-in VPN transports, aka, Personal VPN? Or does your app support a custom VPN transport by embedding a Network Extension provider?
