The key word here is mobile devices.

AFAIK, ad blocking in Chrome on my phone is difficult. But with Firefox, I can easily install uBlock Origin.

I use a PiHole on my phone occasionally to block ads in anything that isn't Firefox, but I found that the OpenVPN client is a significant battery drain (~7% per hour).




Wireguard may use less power, I've not noticed any loss of battery life when using it across multiple devices.


I'm trying the option to pause the VPN while the screen is off again. I had done it before, but found that it frequently didn't reconnect to the VPN when I powered back on.
