Relays

required
arrayAn array of dictionaries that describe one or more relay servers that the system can chain together.Default: —Range: —
Relaydict

Network relay

dict—Default: —Range: —

HTTP/3 relay URL

stringThe URL or URI template, as defined in RFC 9298, of a relay server that's reachable using HTTP/3 and supports proxying TCP and UDP using the CONNECT method. Each relay needs to include either 'HTTP2RelayURL' or 'HTTP3RelayURL', or it can include both.Default: —Range: —

HTTP/2 relay URL

stringThe URL or URI template, as defined in RFC 9298, of a relay server that's reachable using HTTP/2 and supports proxying TCP and UDP using the CONNECT method. Each relay needs to include either 'HTTP2RelayURL' or 'HTTP3RelayURL', or it can include both.Default: —Range: —

Additional HTTP header fields

dictA dictionary that contains custom HTTP header keys and values to add to each request. The dictionary key name represents the HTTP header field name to use, and the dictionary value is the string to use as the HTTP header field value.Default: —Range: —
{{key}}string
required
string—Default: —Range: —
{{value}}string
required
stringThe HTTP header field value for the corresponding header field name.Default: —Range: —
ANYstring
required
stringThe HTTP header field value for the corresponding header field name.Default: —Range: —

Certificate UUID

stringThe UUID that points to an identity certificate payload, which the system uses to authenticate the user to the relay server.Default: —Range: —

Raw public keys

arrayAn array of DER-encoded raw public keys that the system uses to authenticate the server during a TLS handshake. The server needs to use one of the keys in the handshake to authenticate. If this array is empty, the system uses the default TLS trust evaluation.Default: —Range: —

Raw public key element

data—Default: —Range: —

Match domains

arrayA list of domain strings that the system uses to determine which connection to route through the servers in 'Relays'. Any connection that matches a domain in the list exactly or is a subdomain of the listed domain uses the relay servers, unless it matches a domain in 'ExcludedDomains'. If this list and 'MatchFQDNs' are empty, the system routes traffic to all domains to the relay servers, except those that match an excluded domain or excluded FQDN.Default: —Range: —

Match domains element

string—Default: —Range: —

Excluded domains

arrayA list of domain strings to exclude from routing through the servers in 'Relays'. Any connection that matches a domain in the list exactly or is a subdomain of the listed domain won't use the relay server.Default: —Range: —

Excluded domains element

string—Default: —Range: —
RelayUUIDstring

Relay UUID

not on macOS

stringA globally unique identifier for this relay configuration. The system uses this UUID to route managed apps through the servers in 'Relays'. This key is required for user enrollment.Default: —Range: —

Match FQDNs

iOS 18.4+ · macOS 15.4+ · tvOS 18.4+ · visionOS 2.4+

arrayA list of Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) to route through the servers contained in 'Relays'. Any connection that matches an FQDN in the list exactly uses the relay servers. If this list and 'MatchDomains' are empty, the system routes traffic to all domains to the relay servers, except those that match an excluded domain or excluded FQDN.Default: —Range: —

Match FQDNs element

string—Default: —Range: —

Excluded FQDNs

iOS 18.4+ · macOS 15.4+ · tvOS 18.4+ · visionOS 2.4+

arrayA list of Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) to exclude from routing through the servers contained in 'Relays'. Any connection that matches an FQDN in the list exactly won't use the relay server. When 'MatchDomains' is also present, any FQDN listed in the list should be a subdomain of at least one 'MatchDomain' value, otherwise it won't have any effect.Default: —Range: —

Excluded FQDNs element

string—Default: —Range: —
