AoxVPN mobile terminal power saving optimization: the truth about VPN background power consumption

The truth about VPN background power consumption and power saving optimization

"VPN consumes too much power" - this is a complaint of many mobile phone users. VPN does increase power consumption, but AoxVPN minimizes the impact through power saving optimization.

Why does VPN consume electricity?

VPN continues to maintain encrypted tunnels in the background, and the CPU needs to continuously encrypt and decrypt data. Traditional VPNs use the OpenVPN protocol, which has high encryption overhead and significant power consumption.

Power saving optimization of Maverick VPN

• WireGuard protocol saves 30% power than OpenVPN
• Automatically reduces heartbeat frequency when idle
• Smart offloading reduces unnecessary traffic Encrypted traffic
• Optimize the encryption algorithm (ChaCha20 is more power-saving than AES on the mobile terminal)

Actual power consumption

The Aox accelerator consumes about 3-5% of power when running in the background for 1 hour (iPhone 15 Pro test). Compared with some VPNs that often consume 10%+ power, Aox VPN’s optimization effect is obvious.

Battery Saving Tips

Turn off VPN when not in use; turn on smart diversion to reduce encrypted traffic; update to the latest version of AoxVPN.
