You can indeed use Tailscale ad remember to set the VPN On-Demand so you’ll get connected just when you’re outside your home network :)
I don't think that really solves the problem here. That will still use the VPN all the time when mobile. So the battery will still drain quickly. Zero Tier I admit is quite heavy compared to Tailscale but the battery issue remains.
You’re indeed right about having the vpn on all the times you’re on mobile, but at least when home it won’t drain more battery as it will closed, so it’s not the best solution, but still better than what OP is using imo
The always-on VPN does NOT close Tailscale when you're home. At least mine doesn't. If it's on, it's on all the time.
