Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As for now, Netbird disconnects immediately after session expires, abruptly and without warning. This leads to network interruption so if we doing something online, like filling a form or working in VScode Web, etc., all progress will be lost

Describe the solution you'd like
Netbird should send a notification 5 minutes before disconnection, and describe that user has to re-authenticate. Maybe include a timer or smth.

It should be convenient and easy to click on the notification and re-login, without any more mouse movements

I have the same problem. Also it would be great if user's sessions would automatic be extended when the user still connected to Netbird
