Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 121.
Network Configuration Rollback ------------------------------
NetworkManager now has support in its API for detecting whether a network configuration change broke connectivity to the system. Marius did work so that Cockpit can detect this and have NetworkManager rollback the changes that would have caused a remote admin to be disconnected from the system.
This is similar to how a Linux desktop asks you to click in a dialog if you accept the new display configuration. Except in the networking case we can test the connectivity automatically.

Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5069
Debugging info for Javascript and CSS -------------------------------------
Cockpit now ships proper Javascript and CSS debugging "map" files in its cockpit-debuginfo packages. These make it easier to troubleshoot issues and develop code that runs in Cockpit.
Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5191
Debian Branding ---------------
Cockpit now shows proper branding when running on Debian, and uses the logo installed on the system on its login screen.

Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5240
Fix Kerberos single sign on Debian and Ubuntu ---------------------------------------------
Stef fixed Kerberos single sign on Debian and Ubuntu. More changes are coming in the next release including support for use with gssproxy and expanding support for non-Kerberos GSSAPI authentication mechanisms.
Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5227

Although in many cases this is the case, it is not always the case, is this under the control of the admin ? (I just configured my new openwrt on my new router, my net config was perfectly right, but the box was not connected to anything beyond my administering client, which also switched between 2 networks at my request).
Simo.

Yup. Try it out [0] ... or see the linked video [1]. You are asked whether to 'Keep the Connection' or 'Change the settings' anyway.
