iCloud Question about Private Relay

[otherguy5]

I share internet at home with my parents. I'm mainly concerned with privacy and them seeing my internet history via the router. Does Private Relay hide your internet history from the router logs and history? Thanks.

It's essentially like a VPN, so yes...but it only applies to Safari. Traffic from all other browsers and apps (games, social media, dating apps, etc.) still go through normally and aren't private.

Alternatively, you could setup pihole and point your devices dns server to it.

Force pihole to use encrypted/secure dns resolution and no one is seeing anything unless they can sniff the traffic on the LAN between your device and the pihole.

Further if you enable encrypted dns lookups from the client to the pihole, then no one would be able to even see your devices requesting DNS from the pihole. This would be the case for all traffic, not just what Relay... relays.
