I Configured user tunnelled always on vpn as per Microsoft documentation on Windows 10 Pro 21H2. The tunnel automatically connects correctly.
Sometimes there is a need for user to disconnect from always on vpn. The button in vpn connection disconnects but then it automatically connects again.
I found that after executing
rasdial VPNalwaysOn /DISCONNECT
it disconnects permanently and don't automatically connect even after restart. Is there a way to restore this auto-connect feature or to allow user to temporary disconnect from always on vpn in another way?

there is a registry setting control that behavior. refer to:
https://directaccess.richardhicks.com/2024/01/15/when-always-on-vpn-isnt/
Even with the registry entry, user are able to use the command without admin rights and break the always on connection. This is even more problematic since then there is no way to re-enable the always on feature without re-deploying the whole VPN tunnel.
And yes, users are capable of researching such commands in the internet and will often use them without knowing the consequences.
