Description

It would be useful if Minikube tunnel had a background/daemon mode. It would also be nice if it could be started whenever Minikube starts without having to do anything.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a background/daemon mode to the minikube tunnel command. There are two assignees (likely with ongoing work). Investigate the current tunnel implementation in the minikube repository, particularly in pkg/minikube/tunnel or similar directories. Check the comments for any design discussion or partial implementation. Discuss with maintainers if the feature is still desired and if the assignees plan to complete it.
