Research direction

Start by locating the existing Disconnect control and the UI's quit or close handling for the Windows desktop application. Trace how network connections are managed when the UI exits, then verify that the requested setting disconnects networks on quit without changing normal disconnect behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I join many different networks. Since there's only "Disconnect" button here, I have to remember to check all networks and disconnect which I don't really trust before I quit the UI. When the UI has been closed, it can be easily forgotten that I'm still in that untrusted network thus been vulnerable to potential attacks.

I think a "Disconnect when quit" button is better.
