Edge Client has no button when operating in this mode. To configure network location awareness, Edge Client should be configured as follows: 1. 'Enable Always connected mode' checked. 2. 'Traffic flow when VPN is disconnected' set to 'Allow only in enterprise LAN' or 'Always'. 3. Connectivity profile should have suffixes configured.
