NetworkExtension connectOnDemand rules doesn't work

Question

I have an app with VPN config created by the new NetworkExtension framework. It works just fine, but now I need to add some rules to turn this VPN only when I\'m trying to conne

Answer 1

I made it work with the next rules:

let onDemandRule = NEOnDemandRuleEvaluateConnection()
let evaluateRule = NEEvaluateConnectionRule(matchDomains: ["*.some-site.com"], andAction: .ConnectIfNeeded)
evaluateRule.probeURL = NSURL(string: "https://a.url.accecable.only.from.vpn")

onDemandRule.connectionRules = [evaluateRule]
manager.protocolConfiguration = config
manager.onDemandRules = [onDemandRule]

Answer 2

You need to add the line

manager.onDemandEnabled = true
