Description

Some networks might always be detected as captive portals even if the user wants to use that network anyway. It would be useful to be able to disable capnet-assist on a per-network and/or system-wide basis.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how capnet assist is invoked in the network settings plug, locate where captive portal detection is triggered, and consider adding a settings toggle to disable it per network or globally. Look for existing configuration files or D Bus interfaces that control capnet assist behavior.
