I really love iCloud Private Relay in theory, but it goes down (not slow, not intermittent, _DOWN_) so often that I find myself rebooting my cable modem only to realize that my connection is fine outside Safari and Safari web views.

I value my privacy, but not enough to deal with my ISP's technical support unnecessarily.

@searls I thought I was alone here… I really hate it when it goes down like that. Mail.app is also affected.

@searls Interesting. I keep it on 24/7 and the only times it drops is when I lose cell service away from wifi. I always forget it’s on until I see the “iCloud private relay will turn on when you’re without cell range” notification.

@searls same experience here. I would just use a VPN like Mullvad, but it seems like iCloud Drive and Software Update do not work when running under VPNs 😕
