NEIKEv2 Provider wants keychain access

I was surfing and suddenly everything stopped working and this message appeared. I was also trying to setup a VPN. So I wanted to know if this was from the VPN company or something from Apple itself?

I trust Apple but not the VPN company. I haven't granted the permission at least for now. But I am not able to surf the Internet. Please help

Keychain: "Observations" Hello, from time to time, I come across something in my keychain that makes me question its reason for being there. Today I came across: "Observations". The keychain shows it's "kind" as an application password, and that it is "system" in keychain. Under "Access Control" it shows as: "searchpartyd". Is this an apple related system password? I used to be able to find if something is apple related when looking under the access control. These days with malware getting more, and more tricky. It can be easy to click on something you did not intend to. Is there a way to look up standard keychain items controlled by Apple. I realize this could cause concern for a lot of people that might not understand there are such items. I would just like to be able to confirm that they could in fact be Apple rather than contacting support. Thanks for your help!

FastestVPN I purchased a software package from KoingaDeals. One of the items was FastestVPN. I installed it and in the process I got a pop up window that said "reagent wants to use you confidential information stored in 'FastestVPN' in your keychain and given the choices 'Always Allow', 'Deny' and 'Allow'. This made me nervous. I checked with their support online and in an online chat I got this message. "Neagent stands for the Network Extension Agent and it facilitates the connection from your Mac to our VPN servers. Before you can connect, the neagent must receive VPN authentication data stored in your Mac’s Keychain password management system. If you click Deny, the neagent will not connect to Keychain, and you will not be able to establish a VPN connection." Also that I should check Always allow. Does this sound legitimate?

reagent Who owns reagent, and is there a reputable VPN service that doesn't require me to give them access to all the passwords on my Keychain?

You can try:

System Preferences -> Network

Then if you found any VPN in this area, try to remove it

I hope it will helpful with you
