Comment on How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly?

I keep it running always. Partly to access stuff at home, and party to get the ad-blocking from pihole.

Do not expose stuff unless you fully understand the security risks

How’s the power draw on mobile devices?

  Not noticeable with always-on Tailscale with the default split-tunnel mode. That is when Tailscale is only used to access Tailscale machines and everything else is routed via the default route.

  For the last 10 days tailscale clocked 1% battery on my phone. I honestly didn’t even consider turning it off for battery savings.

  Its not bad using the official wireguard app. Its definitely noticable. On the android battery screen it’ll show around 5% after a full day of use and it on always

    I’d consider 5% to be trivial, for what it does.
    
    My battery consumption really depends on how much traffic I send over it.
