Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The VPN might not have to be always on. Mobile device might require to be connected to the VPN only when not in the office or when not at home.

Describe the solution you'd like
The idea is to have a feature that allows users to select a named network. When the device is connected to that network the VPN can be configured to automatically connect or disconnect.

Scenario:

A device is currently connected to the access point xyz, on which a VPN is not required to access corporate (or homelab) resources. Netbird is configured to say disconnected when the device is connected to the access point xyz. However, when the mobile device is disconnected from said access point, Netbird should automatically connect.
