All networking operations should be piped through the NetworkProcess.
This process is spawned by the UIProcess (which in your case is the
cog process).
I don't have any experience with systemd and its service mechanism. As a
starting point, I would suggest using strace to examine dispatched
syscalls in the NetworkProcess, and seeing if something obvious comes up
from that.
