I use wireguard back to a pfsence box. I don't notice any increased battery drain
I just need access to my home network, so it dose the job.
That sounds good! Any quick instructions for that? I couldn't figure it out earlier and zerotier/tailscale seemed a lot easier.
Tailscale uses Wireguard under the hood. ZeroTier uses something of their own.
I assume Wireguard would only be as good as Tailscale regarding your battery problems.
WireGuard alone don’t have this Batterie drain problem. Have it 24/7 on without issues.
me too, using the wireguard Clent.
I didn't say it did. I'm saying that whatever is going on now with ZeroTier for this person will likely remain the same after switching to WireGuard.
Tailscale uses wireguard with custom modification (to distribute key, use relay, use TCP). It's not the same protocol as plain native wireguard.

if you don't have pfsence, google wireguard vpn docker.
I use the wireguard client on android.
this is pretty much all the guide you need but for a client input the same information into your wireguard app
