I got Mullvad VPN to try it for a month after years using ExpressVPN, but it drains my battery (iPhone SE, 2nd generation, 2020) into oblivion in a matter of 3-4 hours.
Browsed the Cursed Site™️ and using WireGuard instead of the Mullvad VPN app seems to be the most common solution – but not for me. WireGuard either it doesn’t connect to any location or disconnects after 2-3 minutes.
Anyone got any advice?
EDIT: added more details about the phone model.
Curious. Ever since I got this phone I have been using proton with the active kill switch, so in practice it never runs without the VPN active. I have to charge the phone every 1-2 days depending on how much i use it, with the app being a miniscule part of my power usage.
Seems odd that there would be such discrepancies
