iPhone, iPad and Mac: iCloud Private Relay

With iCloud Private Relay, Safari sends its names through the relay of Apple, not to the DNS of your network: Warda does not see them.

01What Warda does by itself

For the devices of the children and teenagers, Warda turns iCloud Private Relay off at home: it answers the names of the relay as if they did not exist, and Safari then asks Warda. The device usually tells that Private Relay is off for this network.

02For the other devices

The option stays on for the other networks: outside, the relay works as before.

  1. 1Settings → Wi-Fi, tap the ⓘ of your network at home.
  2. 2Turn off Limit IP Address Tracking for this network: iCloud Private Relay is off on it, and Safari asks the DNS of the network.
  3. 3On a Mac, the same option is in the details of the Wi-Fi network, in System Settings.

03Go further

To keep an encrypted DNS through Warda, install the profile of Network → DNS services (Download the profile, then Settings → Profile Downloaded → Install). For a child's iPhone, also forbid the changes of Cellular Data in Screen Time: mobile data leave your network, and Warda.
