I would want to go that appros but it feels very inconvenient having to connect to VPN every time I want to check something, also the battery drain if I stayed connected all the time
I’ve been using Tailscale for about 2 months now. It has a VPN-on-demand setting that I keep enabled. That way, anytime I am not on my local WiFi, it automatically connects the VPN. According to my battery health settings, Tailscale has used 5% of my battery in the last 10 days. And I am even using a Mullvad exit node, which would use even more battery.
Where is VPN in demand setting?
On iOS, I tap on my profile in the upper right, and the VPN-on-demand setting is right below my account.
No significant battery drain for me, and I use it a lot, almost all the time.
Yea, it's a little drain, just nothing to worry about.
Not sure is it same, I don't use tailscale, but using pure wireguard. In my experience battery drain is not even noticable, but staying connected is not smooth as I'd like. I tried to keep active VPN all the time, but then sometimes I just notice my internet is not working ( I have disable or restart VPN connection). It could be issue with my phone (Android), missconfig or something else, but I switched to manually enabling VPN every time I need it. Not amazing, but few clicks every now and then is more than acceptable for my use case
