Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When connecting to public Wi-Fi, I use my netbird every time. But when I return home, I don't want to be connected to the VPN and access the Internet directly.

Describe the solution you'd like
Would be nice to have an option called "always stay connected to netbird" where you can exclude specific WiFi networks like the personal wifi at home. In case I connect to my personal WiFi (or Ethernet...) netbird will automatically disconnect.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Always manually decide when to use netbird an when not.

Additional context
None

Closing as this is a stale issue and the functionality can be achieved through posture-checks for your own home network.

For more info, see:

If you would still like to see this feature, please open a GitHub Discussion.

Cheers!
