Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a few Apple Shortcuts for calling APIs on my Netbird network. When I am on the move, since Netbird cannot automatically reconnect, I often find they fail due to being disconnected.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to connect to Netbird using a simple action within my shortcut, and test whether I am connected before running my API call.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If Netbird could automatically reconnect as other VPN clients do, my specific problem would probably be solved, but I think these would be useful in general.

Additional context

See below implementations by other VPN apps.
