Interesting - do I remember that macOS 10.12 (or maybe 10.13) was supposed to allow for per-app VPN access? Does that use this API, or something else (assuming it actually exists)? Also, quite the cliffhanger on VPNStatus, which sounds promising (any chance it could also support Wireguard?)

The Network Extension framework mentioned in the post is that API. It's been an iOS thing for a while and came to macOS more recently (10.12, I think).
The docs say 10.11 for most of the APIs. A few are still (and forever?) iOS only.
Yes, I counted counted versions/WWDC videos wrong - the macOS version popped up in 2015 along with the El Capitan/10.11 announcement.
