VPN - guidelines MacOS

I've developed a VPN app for MacOS.

The user can press the connect or disconnect buttons to start/end the VPN connection.

The VPN is configured to be on-demand.


My question is -

What is the correct approach if the user press "connect", and then quit the app.

Should I disconnect the VPN?

And if I should disconnect the VPN, it will probably be at applicationWillTerminate func,

but how much time I have to do that?

Because I'll need to stop the VPN and change the ondemand to false, an action that take some time..

Why do you think that’s a good idea? In general, VPN connectivity is not tied to the app that started it. For example, with the built-in VPN transports, you can connect from Settings but they don’t disconnect when you quit Settings.
