High battery consumption when netbird is active

[chris-si]

Hello,

I just tried the new on-demand feature and realized that the iPhone battery is being drained substantially when NetBird is active (in the background). Other iOS VPN apps with VPN on-demand features don't have such a noticeable effect on the battery compared to NetBird. Unfortunately in the current state it makes the NetBird VPN on-demand feature mostly useless for me, since I can't use the VPN if my phone has no battery left 😬.

I'm running NetBird iOS v0.1.4 and on the backend v0.68.3. Following is screenshot of the iPhone battery settings which confirms that NetBird was the one draining most of the battery.

I'm seeing similar battery usage on multiple iOS devices with different OS versions. The phones get quite warm and battery life is now greatly reduced.
