How Private Relay is exposing IP addresses
iCloud Private Relay, which is part of Apple's iCloud+ subscription, is supposed to keep both who you are and what sites you visit hidden when you are browsing in Safari. Without it, your network provider and the websites you view can see your IP address and DNS records, which can be used to track your location and browsing history over time. Private Relay is supposed to encrypt DNS records and generate a temporary IP address, keeping any single party, including Apple, from obtaining both.
The researchers stated that they informed Apple but haven't been given a timeline for when the vulnerability will be addressed. Apple is generally pretty good on privacy issues, but this isn't the first to arise in recent months. In July, "Hide My Email," the company's email masking service, was revealed to have a vulnerability that actually exposed users' real email addresses. Apple reportedly knew about it for over a year and claimed to have patched it—but it hadn't.
While Private Relay can be a useful privacy tool—if it works as intended—it's not a true VPN (Virtual Private Network) because it only provides protection when browsing in Safari. If you want to keep your IP address hidden and your data encrypted across all apps and browsers on your device, you may want to consider a separate VPN service.
