> The only downside I've notice is slightly increased battery consumption on my phone, but that's to be expected (it uses approximately 5% of the battery per day). I believe that Android does not accurately represent the battery usage of VPN apps. It seems to count all the radio (i.e. mobile and Wi-Fi) usage against the VPN app, but actually the traffic was sent only because some other app requested its transmission. WireGuard itself uses zero battery if no network traffic is being passed and the NAT keepalive mode is off. (at least this is true in the abstract, it might run occasional timers to update system information as Android requires)
