Describe the problem

Setting "Require login after disconnect" to false does change the default for peers that are added.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Settings/Authentication'
  2. Uncheck 'Require login after disconnect'
  3. Create a new peer
  4. See that the new peer has 'Require login after disconnect' enabled

Expected behavior

I'd expect that the new peer has 'Require login after disconnect' disabled. It also does not overwrite the peers setting.

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Self-host NetBird

NetBird version

0.61.2

Is any other VPN software installed?

No.

It looks like the problem was solved. I tested it with a new peer and the relogin was not required after ten minutes. Also, the UI has changed. When the global setting is off, the peer setting can no longer overwrite it:

Awesome!
