I use NextDNS and have crazy battery drain when the app is enabled on my iPhone

  I was going to ask if anyone else had battery drain with the iPhone VPN enabled (say for pihole, or I’m assuming NextDNS).

  Interesting. I'm on Android, so I just use the built-in private DNS support. I wonder if the apple configuration generator would work better?

  On Android 12+ (if my memory serves well), you can use DNS over TLS without having to install any additional software. It seems to cover all of the connections, but I don't think DoT is used when your phone connects to your network for VoWifi and eSIM provisioning connections (I didn't see them in my NextDNS logs)

  I've had this happen to me with iOS and VPNs in general. NextDNS, Wireguard, and most notoriously, Tailscale.
