I keep having my phone completely drained of battery over night, and im not sure why… Each night the phone will easy chew through 30-40% battery. Only thing that helps is putting it in battery saving mode. But feels like a temporary solution.

The second most used app is at 7% percent usage.

Am running GrapheneOS, anyone else struggling with this?

            PiVPN is the easiest way to use WireGuard imo. Even has QR code generation right in your terminal emulator. It’s nothing more than a few simple scripts that wrap the server functionality but I’ve been using it for years.

      No idea about those, but wireguard and openvpn were terrible for battery life, only ever used if I needed to access something at home

      Tailscale isn’t a classic vpn such as Proton and Mullvad. Tailscale crates a network between your own devices, but has Mullvad as an integration for those who want to run Mullvad as an exit node. I don’t need a vpn to mask my location, I need it to connect my devices together. I’ll look into using just wire guard instead though.
