I am using ZeroTier’s free tier to connect my computer, a Raspberry Pi and my phone, and I am loving it. But I have run into one seemingly insurmountable problem. The ZeroTier client on Android seems to be quite a battery hog. As a result I have to keep it switched off most of the time, and manually remember to switch it on now and then so sync’ing etc. will happen.

Are there any alternatives to ZeroTier, or to the ZeroTier client, that might use less battery on Android?

    Tailscale uses wireguard with custom modification (to distribute key, use relay, use TCP). It’s not the same protocol as plain native wireguard.
