alt Hacker NewsOn the battery topic I’m curious if you have anything more than anecdotal evidence. A basic full tunnel wg network extension doesn’t affect battery in a noticeable or unacceptable way, in my experience. Is tailscale’s implementation doing more in a way you can isolate and attribute to poor battery?

Tailscale on my iPhone is unusable while connected in the background. The battery consumption reporting diagram is all 100% filled light blue bars, all attributed to Tailscale.
I’m using their MagicDNS feature with three domains and I think that’s the reason

I can see it (tailscale) in my battery usage on multiple devices. 20 hours of background usage per day is a bit much if you ask me.
