NextDNS Android app
I noticed that the NextDNS app has created a VPN on my device.
I was wondering if this consumes more battery power than if I had manually added the NextDNS details under the Private DNS entry in my network settings.

It would be very little to none, so for newer devices you would never notice it. I use Private DNS on my phone since my battery barely lasts an hour and a half nowdays so every milliampere is important lol. Also Private DNS on Android use DoT and it can be blocked by some ISPs my Mobile Internet provider for example blocks it while the app uses DoH and that uses the same port as the normal traffic on the network so it isn't as easy to block over work and other networks that have firewalls.
