How I got it to run automatically run at startup is to toggle always on vpn for adguard.

Same usage but the drain wasn't noticeable. Even earlier version 4 was better amid the constant restarts

It quit stable in vpn and it hovers around 20 percent now. In auto proxy it goes beyond 30 percent

On automatic proxy it still drains. Vpn mode is tolerable

It's better now. Been a while since I used http proxy. Using vpn mode now.
