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?
No idea about those, but wireguard and openvpn were terrible for battery life, only ever used if I needed to access something at home
As the apps or as the VPN service?
I run both via VPN app and i have similar results to @astrsk
I had openvpn server on pfsense couple years ago, and now wireguard on Mikrotik
ohh i see. i was walking phone.
aint router CPU super underpowered? and it would manage a lot of move traffic?
Nah don't see that being factor, the small Mikrotik is handling it very well for my small homelab, and pfsense was running on stupidly overkill 8c16t / 32gb memory because didn't have any more fitting hardware at that point
Edit: the huge battery drain was on phone, with VPN client
