iCloud Private Relay Server’s Status
iCloud Private Relay is a feature by Apple that enhances the privacy and security of internet browsing for users. It is designed to provide a more secure and private internet connection by encrypting and routing your internet traffic through two separate relays. When you use iCloud Private Relay, your data is encrypted and sent through Apple’s own network to a trusted third-party relay. This relay then forwards the traffic to its intended destination, helping to mask your IP address and prevent websites from tracking your online activities. To check the server’s availability, head to Apple’s System Status page using a browser. Scroll down and look for iCloud Private Relay; if it has a green dot next to it, it means it is online, and if it is red, that means the servers are offline.
