ZeroTier alternatives, or client alternatives for Android,that don't use so much battery? (alien.top)

I am using ZeroTier's free tier to connect my computer, a Raspberry Pi and my phone, and I am loving it. But I have run into one seemingly insurmountable problem. The ZeroTier client on Android seems to be quite a battery hog. As a result I have to keep it switched off most of the time, and manually remember to switch it on now and then so sync'ing etc. will happen.

​

Are there any alternatives to ZeroTier, or to the ZeroTier client, that might use less battery on Android?

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.

this is pretty much all the guide you need but for a client input the same information into your wireguard app
