If a network doesn't work with Private Relay

Private Relay can be turned off for a specific network using the Limit IP Address Tracking setting.*

  • If you turn off Private Relay for a specific network, the setting for that network applies to all of your devices for which Private Relay is turned on.

  • If you regularly switch between multiple network configurations (such as Dual SIM or Wi-Fi and Ethernet), make sure that this setting is set for each network independently.

You can try to turn Private Relay back on for a specific network in Wi-Fi, Cellular Data Options, or Network settings.
