I noticed this recently, and now if I hover or click the network icon on Plasma, I see all my docker bridge networks, not just the normal Wifi and wired networks available.

Why did those start to show up, and how do I get rid of them?

UPDATE 2, because i am too impatient, it seems.

Solved this, now that i am at the machine with the "issue" - turns out i had to log out and in again to make this work...

Obligatory didyoutryturningitoffandonagain.gif ;)

  1. Go to "System Settings" -> "Wi-Fi & Internet"
  2. Underneath the list of networks/devices theres a settings icon, click that
  3. Deselect "Show virtual connections"
  4. In the settings menu the docker bridges etc. will disappear immediately, for them to disappear in the status icon overview i had to log out-and-in to make them disappear as well.

HTH
