I believe that you’re referring to privacy, not security here. And it requires logging on the server side. So if you set up your own server, that’s not a problem, and for those services that have integrated Wireguard, that’s up to them how they deal with that logging.

Wireguard REQUIRES logging in order to function. Your IP address is part of that log. just something to consider if you choose Wireguard.

Saving battery life is not a “feature” as much as it’s a characteristic of the protocol. It’s much lighter and the connection much more efficient, so by nature it uses less energy than OpenVPN. I’m not sure how that’s a falsehood or dependent upon which phone you use?

I hope you can try both applications on your favorite smartphone … Reviews all over the internet are full of falsehoods ….. the truth is yours who dares to try …
