Description

Proxyman version?

Version 2.14.1 (21410)

macOS Version?

11.0.1 (20B29)

Steps to reproduce
  1. Install configuration profile that configures the native encrypted DNS feature new to Big Sur (I am using NextDNS), other examples → https://github.com/paulmillr/encrypted-dns
  2. Launch Proxyman

Now all traffic is blocked. The only way to use Proxyman now is to disable the networks service that was installed by the profile in System Preferences → Network.

I don't know how the new encrypted DNS works internally or if it is even possible for Proxyman to work in such a setup. Happy to provide more info if needed 😊

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on macOS 11.0.1 with a native encrypted DNS configuration profile such as NextDNS, then launch Proxyman and inspect the installed service in System Preferences → Network. Done means Proxyman can capture traffic without requiring the encrypted-DNS network service to be disabled.
