Question about UWP's Windows.Networking.Vpn API

Question

Not sure if this is the right forum or not.

We're building our UWP VPN application using Native VPN profiles. There're a few things we can't figure out
1. VpnManagement.AddProfileFromXmlAsync(ProfileXMLData) always return AccessDenied. Is there any specific capability has to be put into Package.appxmanifest file? Or that API is forbidden? Why?
2. Can't make Split tunnel work. We have VpnNativeProfile configured for 

RoutingPolicyType = VpnRoutingPolicyType.SplitRouting

Then we create a traffic filter and define different policy for it: 

            var chrome = new VpnTrafficFilter(new VpnAppId(VpnAppIdType.FilePath, @"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"));
            chrome.RoutingPolicyType = VpnRoutingPolicyType.ForceAllTrafficOverVpn;
            _vpnProfile.TrafficFilters.Add(chrome);

We expect Chrome to send all traffic to the tunnel when tunnel is up, but it doesn't. What are we doing wrong?

Answer 1

Hi,

Well, currently there is no document or samples that shows how to use the VPN APIs. It means we have very limited help with VPN issues currently. we don't have anything more information to share about it right now. 

Best regards,

Roy

Roy,

Obviously there are VPN vendors in the store today, how does a company get on the "Accepted" list of vendors so that one can get details about the api's and how to work with them?   Can you give me a contact?

Thank you
