When using it, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212614\">Apple claims<\/a> that \u201cno single party\u2014not even Apple\u2014can see both who you are and what sites you\u2019re visiting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Private Relay achieves this by sending your requests through two separate internet relays. The first (operated by Apple) handles your IP address, and the second (operated by a third-party provider) creates a temporary IP address and connects you to the site. Along the way, Private Relay encrypts your DNS records to hide the address of the site you\u2019re visiting from inter<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te parties on the network.<\/p>\n<p>Using the service requires a certain degree of trust in Apple that it will actually keep your records private, just like using a VPN requires you trust the VPN provider.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Youll_Need\"><\/span>What You\u2019ll Need<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To use Private Relay, you\u2019ll need an iCloud+ or Apple One subscription\u2014even the $0.99 per month subscription will work\u2014and your iPhone or iPad must be running iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 (or higher). As of September 2021, you can\u2019t use Private Relay with macOS, but that will likely change when Apple releases macOS 12 (Monterey), which is expected at some point in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>As of September 2021, Private Relay is currently in beta form, which means Apple is still testing it out and ironing out bugs before a final release some time in the future.<\/p>\n<p>There are some limitations on how Private Relay works, as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212614\">Apple explains<\/a> on its Private Relay page:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some sites might need to be <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/support\/prepare-your-network-for-icloud-private-relay\">specifically configured<\/a> to work with Private Relay. If not, they might show information tailored to a different region. It also might interfere with signing into some sites if the sign-in relies on location-based information.<\/li>\n<li>Some networks and services aren\u2019t compatible with Private Relay. For example, networks that require filtering, services that rely on tracking your browsing activity (like parental controls), and others.<\/li>\n<li>Private Relay isn\u2019t available in all regions. If you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing, Private Relay will tell you when it\u2019s not available in that area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Still, if you run into trouble with Private Relay, it\u2019s easy enough to turn off again quickly in Settings.
