Actual Behavior

This is ok. App requires admin rights to be able trigger network setup update when connecting/disconnecting to VPN. It isn't one-time change.

Well. Lots of Mac apps does some sort of system changes. ANd they generally ask for a password one time and remembers permissions.

Not sure how it's technically done, still done somehow.

Hi, yes. I'm not sure how it is done on macOS. Anyway, there is a request/plan to solve similar admin-rights request on windows platform as well. I have an idea, may be it will work on all platforms.
