Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/3297

since Netbird is implemented throughout the company, we are now going to isolate the wifi and lan computers to a DMZ network with only internet.
any internal resource that are routed through netbird (network ranges or FQDN) will be needed to be activated.

But from a user's POV, they will try to access the resource, It wont work (since netbird needs to connect), and they will open a Ticket about it.

Is it possible (for Windows,Mac and Linux) for the netbird client to download and save the route table, monitor the traffic on the network card (probably wireshark or tcptump) and if any internal resource is needed, it will run the "netbird up" command (under the users profile) so it will popup the authentication.

That way they wont need to do a thing and if needed, the client will connect / authenticate.

of course the route file that will be used is relevant to the last time netbird was connected. any new route or FQDN that were added / changed while being disconnected will not be routed (at least until it connects again).

thank you
