Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm frustrated when I've joined my iOS device to a ZeroTier network, connected it, and then find that it has disconnected after some time of inactivity or link drop.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to configure ZeroTier networks as Always On, or Connect on Demand on my iOS device so that every request is made through my chosen ZeroTier network.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Building my own app is an option, but seems like an unnecessary duplication of effort.
