iCloud Private Relay routes eligible Safari browsing through two separate relays, so no single relay is meant to see both who you are and where you go. It is a useful feature for people already using supported Apple devices, but it does not cover all network traffic and should not be treated as a VPN replacement.

What it offers

  • Separates IP address from DNS request handling
  • Works with Safari traffic
  • Included with eligible iCloud+ plans

Limitations

  • Apple account and supported-device requirements apply.
  • Does not cover all apps or all traffic like a system-wide VPN.
  • A website can still identify you when you sign in.
