Raw UDP socket support in macos/ios

Author: Mrc527Created Aug 19, 2022Updated Oct 28, 2025

Hello,

am I the only one who cannot get raw mode working on macOS / iOS?

Same setup, a linux and even a windows box can connect to raw socket but macos says test failed and goes through DNS queries (with a huge performance penalty). It's curious to see that a linux VM running on my macbook can make the socket connection, while once again the host cannot.

Is there any limitation in place by Apple or maybe it's just about setting up the socket in a different way?

I'm sorry I cannot help you with the code but I can be a tester here
