Describe the problem

When running netbird on a Windows 11 laptop with a wired connection, zScaler keeps restarting and netbird keeps disconnecting as well. This does not happen on a wireless connection.

To Reproduce

On a wired connection

  • netbird up
  • zScaler shortly entrers into an error mode ("internal error') and netbird keeps connecting and reconnecting (as seen with netbird status -d
  • netbird down restores zScaler immediately

On a wireless connection

  • both co-exist without any isues

Are you using NetBird Cloud?

Yes

NetBird version

0.28.6

Additional context

This is reproduced both at home (wired and wireless networks are on the same range) and in the office (where they are on distinct ranges).
This is also reproduced by a friend, in the same conditions
