Similar to #6860 which relates to removable drives.
Came here to add this same bug/feature request - but in relation to a network folder favourite disappearing when not connected to the associated VPN... since Windows doesn't resolve network names over VPN you either need to lookup/memorise the IP to reconnect to the network share, or revert to Windows file explorer.

I'm experiencing the same issue.
Favorite folders that require VPN connection are removed from favorites after disconnecting from VPN.

OS: Win11 build 10.0.22581.1
