(i.e > confirming xmr recieved, sending xmr to address) I'm not sure what you mean by "disconnected", the gui will connect to the daemon to retrieve information about the state of the blockchain to derive your balance. However, it will not connect to the internet directly to help protect against remote attackers. I haven't used the gui in about a year, but if you look at left sidebar there should be some indication that you are connected to the daemon and it will also show your sync progress (the wallet also needs to sync your balances, but it only takes a few minutes to an hour depending on hardware).

If you want the cli options you need to run `monero-wallet-cli` from the wallet vm and the type `help` at the prompt. >> The infomation online is a bit scattered however I completely understand if you'd rather point me some links or resource instead.
