I have two users on my machine, A and B.
I have only used nordnm while logged in to user A.
I've configured auto-connect.

Today I logged in to user B, without having logged in to user A since last boot. It was not indicated in the system tray that I was connected to a VPN network.

Earlier today I tried to connected by SSH to a firewalled machine which only accepts connections from the IP of the network I'm on. This means that I must have not been connected to a VPN network. Later on in the day I tried again, but I was blocked from connecting. I then found that my public IP address was not the expected network IP that I must have had earlier today.

So at some point today, nordnm autoconnected me to a VPN server without indicating it to me.

Expected: either for nordnm to be isolated to one user, or for nordnm to be user-agnostic and always indicate the correct status.

Great tool btw!
