CyberGhost VPN routes all network traffic on your Android device, including data from your other apps. Because of this, you may notice increased battery consumption and data usage while the VPN is active.
Try the following tips to minimize the drain:
- Use CyberGhost VPN only when you actively need to encrypt your connection or mask your IP.
- Close idle apps and background applications you’re no longer using.
- Switch CyberGhost VPN to WireGuard® protocol. It uses less processing power, battery, and data without sacrificing speed.
- Use App Split Tunnel to set exceptions for apps that don’t need VPN encryption. This reduces unnecessary data routing without affecting security for all apps.
- If possible, connect to nearby servers and prioritize Wi-Fi over cellular data. It will take less processing power to maintain your connection.
- Set up CyberGhost VPN on your router to encrypt the Wi-Fi network directly. This way, you save battery by not using the VPN on your phone while at home.
