Fusion 11, Stopped VMs IPs replies to ping

It seems like all VMs IPs in a subnet configured as custom private network will reply to ping while they're stopped

It happens after a clean startup of the system and there are no running VMs at all

I found out that only after I open the fusion window from the dock the ping starts to give "Request timeout" "ping: sendto: Host is down"

I left a ping running on a vm IP and just after clicking fusion from dock the ping stopped to give replies

This is a total failure if you're automating stuff with "vmrun"

This is on Fusion 11.0.0 / macOS Mojave 10.14 on a custom private network

The workaround for me right now is to add Fusion as a hidden login item and keep it running all the time
