Inline comments:
In `@app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
- Line 26: Declare ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION alongside ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in the
Android manifest, and update both UI permission-request flows to request both
permissions together. Preserve WifiInfoProvider.hasPermission() as gated on fine
location, ensuring precise-location users can enable trusted-network matching on
Android 12 and later.
In `@app/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/MainActivity.java`:
- Around line 398-406: Update the ACTION_EXTEND_SESSION handling in MainActivity
so the intent action is cleared before calling extendSession() or setting
pendingExtendRequest. Apply the same action-clearing behavior to the
ACTION_LOGIN_REQUIRED branch to prevent either notification action from being
processed again after activity recreation.
In `@app/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/ui/autoconnect/AutoConnectFragment.java`:
- Around line 87-97: Persist whether each runtime permission request has been
attempted, then combine that state with shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale()
before requesting again; when POST_NOTIFICATIONS or location access is
permanently denied, open the appropriate app settings instead. Apply this in
AutoConnectFragment.java lines 87-97 for notification settings,
AutoConnectWiFiFragment.java lines 102-106 for location settings, and
AddTrustedNetworkSheet.java lines 49-50 using the same location-permission
fallback.
- Line 36: In AutoConnectFragment.java (lines 36-36),
AutoConnectWiFiFragment.java (lines 28-28), and AddTrustedNetworkSheet.java
(lines 31-31), add an onDestroyView() override that clears each Fragment’s
binding field after the view is destroyed; retain the existing view setup and
lifecycle behavior otherwise.
In
`@app/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/ui/autoconnect/AutoConnectWiFiFragment.java`:
- Around line 92-96: Update the background-location handling in
AutoConnectWiFiFragment so the runtime ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION request is
used only on Android 10 (Q). For Android 11+ when
hasBackgroundCapablePermission(requireContext()) is false, direct the user to
the app’s location Settings page instead of calling showLocationBanner with the
runtime permission.
In `@app/src/main/res/layout/fragment_auto_connect_wifi.xml`:
- Around line 11-14: Update the capped container in the layout by changing its
android:layout_width from match_parent to wrap_content, while preserving
android:maxWidth and android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal".
In
`@tool/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/tool/autoconnect/AutoConnectController.java`:
- Around line 149-151: Track ownership of the active VPN session in
AutoConnectController and only call host.requestDisconnect() for trigger
mismatches when auto-connect started the session; update the mismatch path
around running and the related VPNService monitoring-disable path at
tool/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/tool/autoconnect/AutoConnectController.java
lines 149-151 and tool/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/tool/VPNService.java
lines 200-204 so sessions started manually or by Android always-on are
preserved.
In `@tool/src/main/java/io/netbird/client/tool/autoconnect/BootReceiver.java`:
- Around line 35-38: Update BootReceiver’s successful VPN consent callback to
call AutoConnectArmer.sync(this) after consent is granted, including the branch
that starts the engine after the Always-on dialog. Preserve the existing
mBinder.runEngine(...) behavior while ensuring monitoring is re-armed for both
successful consent paths.

Track whether auto-connect owns the current VPN session.
Both paths disconnect any running engine. They can terminate manual and Android always-on VPN sessions that auto-connect did not start.

Summary
Adds an "Automatic connection" feature to the Settings that connects/disconnects the active VPN profile automatically based on network conditions, without needing a third-party automation app.
Screenshots
New permissions
This feature needs a few permissions to work reliably in the background, each requested only once the feature actually needs it, with an in-app explanation shown before the system prompt:
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: required by Android to read the current Wi-Fi SSID/BSSID for trusted-network matching.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION: auto-connect evaluates trusted networks from a background service, and Android revokes foreground-only ("while using the app") location access when that evaluation needs to run. Requested as a separate, later step after foreground access, per Android's required flow. Note: As far as I know, this permission requires that the "Permissions Declaration Form" in the Google Play Console is filled out to justify the usage of this permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS: lets the user optionally exempt NetBird from battery optimization so background monitoring isn't throttled.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: re-arms monitoring after a reboot.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: needed to read the current Wi-Fi connection info for trusted-network matching.POST_NOTIFICATIONSwas already declared but never actually requested anywhere in the app. This PR adds a proper runtime request flow for it, scoped to this feature's banners. This issue likely still affects the app's ordinary connect/disconnect notification, since the permission is never granted anywhere except on the new auto connect screen. That might be something that should be checked, but I think it is outside the scope of this PR.Credit
The overall approach and how the settings are structured were inspired by WG Tunnel.
