I'm using the NetworkExtension framework to create a virtual
utun
interface. My application receives packets from a client and the application writes the packet into the utun
interface.
Since I have enabled ip forwarding
using sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
on the system, the packet is sent to the correct interface en0
and sent out through the wire.
When a response is sent back, it is received on the en0
interface. However, I want to forward these packets to the utun
interface so that my application can read the packets received. How can I achieve this?
Example:
1. VPN Application receives packet from client.
2. Application writes packet to utun
interface with source 100.64.0.77
and destination 192.168.1.95
3. OS networking stack sees that the packets destined for 192.168.x.x
are to go to interface en0
4. Packet is sent out through wire to 192.168.1.95
5. 192.168.1.95
sends a response packet with destination 100.64.0.77
and source 192.168.1.95
6. The response packet is only received on the en0
interface
7. The response packet needs to be put onto the utun
interface somehow so that my application can read the packet. How do I achieve this?
