    Private Relay issues in Sequoia

    Since installing Sequoia, I’m met with issues in Safari that it can’t connect to Private relay on a daily basis. I’m doing the ‘turn off until tomorrow’ every day now just to be able to use Safari which is becoming annoying. Mac Pro 2019. Anyone else experiencing issues?

    Permanently allow a site to see my IP address while using Private Relay?

    I’m running macOS Sonoma. I access a site for work that needs to see my actual IP address. Because I use iCloud Private Relay, I can’t access that site until I long-press Safari’s reload button and select “Reload and Show IP Address”. It’s inconvenient to do that each time I access the site. Is...

    Resolved Private Relay: Safari not hiding IP (on Sonoma?)

    Edit: Solved. I suggest that people check their IP on Safari to see if Private Relay is really working for them. Hi, I was trying the Private Relay feature on macOS (M1 Macbook Air) after updating to Sonoma. I checked my IP online while using it: surprise, websites have access to my real IP...

    Private Relay does not work with Netgear CAX30 and Spectrum -- anyone else with this combo?

    Safari has a checkbox in Settings "Hide IP Address". In the text, there is "Lean More". I click that and it brings me to System Settings Private Relay. I turn that out and then turn it on for Safari. The UI has changed slightly in Ventura. After a brief while, it tells me that the Private...

    iCloud SECURITY HOLE: Amazon.com Captured My Real IP Address Despite Private Relay Being Turned ON

    I logged into Amazon.com today using Safari with Private Relay turned ON over a cellular (XFinity Mobile connection — they use Verizon as the underlying carrier). However, despite the fact I have Private Relay turned ON and despite the fact that I confirmed that my real IP address is NOT being...

    iCloud iCloud Private Relay functionality

    I'm concerned as to whether iCloud Private Relay is working right now. I am not able to browse any websites with it enabled. I can browse the internet normally with it disabled. Please help!

    Permanently disable iCloud Private Relay

    This is not about why, but about how. Apple provides instructions on how to Turn Off Private Relay here https://support.apple.com/HT212614 However, there is another way, creating and installing a .mobileconfig profile that can disable it for all users of a Mac, as long as the profile is...

    iCloud Can your ISP disable iCloud Private Relay?

    Recently, a message has started appearing in the Private Relay section of my iPhone's settings. It says: I checked my IP on both wifi and cellular using one of those "what's my IP" websites. Wifi shows a Cloudflare IP address (so Private Relay is working). Using only mobile data, I see my IP...

    iCloud Private Relay Not Supported In Your Region

    I just got this disturbing message about two minutes ago; Private Relay worked in this region (Czechia) for months before as I've been using it since the dev betas. Do you think this is a permanent issue?

    Is there a way to show private relay status in the menu bar?

    I think private relay is great and I'd like to have it whenever I can. I have private relay enabled but sometimes it's not available and I get a notification. Often happens when I'm on coffee shop wifi. I don't recall getting a notification when it gets enabled again. Has anyone built a...

    Private Relay bypasses Pi-Hole

    Just stuck iOS15 PB on my 11 Pro. Noticed that with Private Relay turned on, I’m getting adverts in Safari now. Turn the option off and adverts are gone. Seems having the option on is bypassing the Pi-Hole I have running to block ads.
