hmmmm.... with v9.0, which I use, it only tries to connect a

only connect for compiles and for system stuff, like spoolfiles, etc.
In other words, I can leave "work offline" unchecked most of the time,
and if it needs a connection it opens it. But not til it's needed. If
it's needed and the vpn is not connected, then I get the message to
connect, But otherwise no.

So my guess is that there is a setting somewhere?

Your understanding is spot on. RDi won't attempt to connect until it needs to.
What may have changed from 9.0 to 9.6 is what Live Outline is trying
to do behind the scenes.
I myself just work offline before exiting.
I don't think there is an all-encompassing 'do not try to connect' setting.

Check some of these:
