I'd also like to know.
Proton VPN eats my battery like none other. Any others out there that are secure but more energy efficient? 👀 at you nostr:npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka

Have you all tried using ProtonVPN's direct Wireguard setup?
I just leave it set to auto. It does its thing.
Maybe try installing the wireguard app and creating a profile from your ProtonVPN dashboard. I haven't tested if its any better, but I prefer controlling the wg interface, plus I have split tunneling on for self hosted apps.
I have issues with Proton not letting me see anything on my LAN. It's annoying since I'm trying to set up proxmox now. 🙄
Yup! Maybe give using Wireguard directly a try. You can use this tool to "whitelist" IP addresses so you can still route your LAN traffic.

Right now, that's low on my priority list. I have too many other things to do.
Why can't tech just effing work? 😂
If it did, IT guys wouldn't have any work.
Also to be fair. I promise it shouldn't take very long to set up Wireguard on android with proton. I think they even use the QR code mobile method now. After that you just need to set those LAN IP's which you can do whenever you are ready.
I'll think about it. I'm not up to it tonight. But, thank you. I will try it soon.
There’s an “allow lan connections” under settings for that.
I haven’t tried Wireguard. I generally leave it in smart setting
I think its worth giving a try. You will unfortunately have to be stuck to a single server (per config) but it's not difficult to configure. I use the wireguard app on android all day on my 5 y/o pos with a weak battery and still get almost 2 days on a charge.
