Currently ditching netbird because the Android implementation kills the battery and it makes it unusable.
I wish they would fix it, it's been an issue for quite some time

I use [JetBird](https://codeberg.org/bg443/JetBird/) instead, which at least in my case does not drain battery faster than in normal device usage with VPN disabled.

I actually had the opposite and the tailscale app would drain my battery when using one of my exit nodes. I will say the netbird app needs some love. My biggest issue is that it doesn't stay connected or is able to reconnect when I change WiFi networks or go from WiFi to cellular.
