Last year Apple announced one new key privacy feature for iOS called Private Relay. Even though the feature is still in beta, some major European telecom operators have signed an open letter to protest its future rollout.
“Private Relay cuts off networks and servers from accessing vital network data and metadata”The open letter has raised more than a couple of eyebrows since its publication, mainly because Private Relay is a feature not much different from a regular VPN, and those have been around for ages. But let’s see what Private Relay is in more detail.When you browse the internet some information can be seen and recorded by your network provider - this includes DNS records, IP addresses, and more.
This is done by using two internet relays - the first encrypts your DNS records , and the second generates a temporary IP address to connect you to the site you want to see. The first relay doesn't have your DNS records, and the second relay doesn’t have your IP address. Private Relay is off by default in all beta releases so far but Apple has officially announced that when the feature reaches the final rollout phase it will be switched on by default. You can always turn off the Private Relay feature for specific networks by following the next steps: on you iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Wi-Fi, then tap the More Info button next to the Wi-Fi network, then tap on"Turn off Private Relay.
