Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/4716

Posture checks should be continuously evaluated so that policies are applied based on the current status of the peer and not the status at connect-time.

Sorry if this has been reported before. I did a search for "posture" and couldn't find this in the list, but I am sure this has been discussed before.

AFAIK posture checks are evaluated at connect-time. There was discussion but I didn't see in the changelog, to have posture checks continuously evaluated so that Netbird would apply policies based on the results.

Note: If this has been implemented then the documentation at https://netbird.io/knowledge-hub/limit-network-access-based-on-running-processes and https://docs.netbird.io/how-to/manage-posture-checks should mention when checks are made
