I have had iOS 14 since the beta but since last night, I’ve been getting a privacy warning on my iPad. is there any way to fix it? Ignore the no connection, I took a screenshot last night when my internet went wonky And it popped up. It’s still there, I would check what it says on my I-phone but I don’t have it at the moment.

Is AT&T your cellular provider or the ISP that the WIFI is connected to? Is this a work WIFI?

I see you have Private Address on, so the message says that the WIFI network may have MAC filtering enabled and that would disallow you since you're basically changing your MAC address.

The Privacy issue is that it might be seeing you are encrypting DNS or using encrypted DNS services and the WIFI network is not working with that.

Does your iPad actually have functioning WIFI and internet access?

Att is the WIFI provider and yes I have functional wifi and internet access. Throughout the beta, I had the private address on and just saw it the other night that there was a privacy warning. Was wondering if there was anyway to turn on the encrypted through my att account or something.
 
Att block encrypted traffic because yes, they are looking at what you are doing. They’ve been caught selling your usage data and they refused to stop. They usually strip it of any info which can identify you as an individual and it’s aggregated but that info is worth a lot of money to them.

more info and how to opt out (but still can’t encrypt dns) here https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/att-selling-data_n_3561263

edit: they also sell to law enforcement https://www.theguardian.com/busines...ells-customer-data-law-enforcement-hemisphere
