I've been considering using Tailscale to securely access my project boards and time tracking tools when I'm working away from home. I use a MacBook Air for everything.

I'm curious about the practical side effects of running it all the time. Has anyone done any real-world checks on how much battery it uses when connected, or when it's just idle in the background?
