It would be nice to add the option "Settings > Disconnect on Close" to the tray icon to disconnect the current peer if the client-ui is closed.

(Also, I was trying to implement it, but I couldn't understand how to install the correct version of protobuf/protoc in the dev container)

@ben-nrth commented on GitHub (Aug 4, 2026):

It appears the default now is to disconnect Netbird when the UI closes (at 0.76.1), this is despite the service operating independently of the UI until the UI is opened.

It would be helpful if there was an on/off toggle for Disconnect on Close rather than this being the default action.
