So I’m just being introduced to the concept of using a VPN or something like Tailscale to access one’s services, instead of opening the services directly to the web, but I’m thinking for streaming purposes or just accessing your services on the run, isn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time? Or do you keep the VPN running on your phone for example? What if you use a VPN provider for privacy purposes, wouldn’t one need to then switch VPN connection?
Its not bad using the official wireguard app. Its definitely noticable. On the android battery screen it’ll show around 5% after a full day of use and it on always
I’d consider 5% to be trivial, for what it does.
My battery consumption really depends on how much traffic I send over it.
