Broken or broken in your use case? I recently left corporate development for the start up life. As I recall we had to disable our VPN for the majority of development use cases, from package management (gradle), robotics comms, all the way down to running third party unsigned software (I received a stern email from security for downloading Apple’s OpenAPI package).

Our security chain was so deeply embedded in every part of the OS that I was constantly trying to figure out where the failures and slow downs were coming from.

that issue I linked to apple developer forums has 37k thumbs up so I guess the issue is widespread - when reading the conversation a lot of pissed people me included how they handled it.
