Description

[!NOTE] We found out this issue to be related with the wrapper script that's giving admin privileges to the executable on macOS (needed to inspect a network adapter). This is causing several problems, such as the impossibility to close the app from the dock menu, copy IPs in the clipboard from the connection details page, minimize, and maximize the window.

To Reproduce Describe steps to reproduce the bug, e.g.:

  1. Open sniffnet
  2. Try to exit the app from Doc bar or force exit

Expected behavior To close app and it's all instances
