FR: New "Always On" option VPN on Demand for wifi/cellular for iOS Client #11525

Description

What are you trying to do?

Manually toggle Tailscale ON/OFF while VPN On Demand is enabled and has "Only On" selected, with specified Wifi networks. Currently VPN on Demand turns on when I am on my work wifi automatically, which works great. However I find whenever I am at home and needing to turn on VPN it wont allow me to do so because its not in the list of SSIDs for "Only On". If I flick the switch on, it turns back off immediately.

How should we solve this?

Create a new option in VPN On-Demand titled "Always On", which accepts SSIDs where VPN will automatically turn on; but with this option I am not restricted from turning on TS on other wifi networks so I'm still able to manually turn on TS adhoc.

What is the impact of not solving this?

Limits the usability of VPN-on-Demand on networks not explicitly specified, I have to always turn off VPN-on-Demand if I want to connect at home which coincidentally also wipes out the saved SSIDs so when I turn it back on again I have to manually enter the SSIDs again.

Anything else?
