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?

Not at all.

Any VPN? Tested on different networks?

No VPN and it’s Ethernet connection

Ethernet or not, try a different network. Could be something your router or ISP is affecting.

I'm going to take a guess and say these are general network issues. When there is a network blip, Private Relay tends to mark itself as down for some timeout, so everything appears to work but Private Relay is still in "timeout"

I am unsure if Apple defaulted even wired Ethernet into the new rotating MAC address system, but I would check, and if so, I would turn it off as it can cause network blips.

Discovered when trying to turn it on my Mac last night that I’m having issues also with the “Private Relay Unavailable” message that says some system settings or extensions are incompatible.

The only thing I can think of is NordVPN but I get the same message even if it’s turned off and disabled.
