Browse the web in a more secure and private way with iCloud Private Relay

When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use iCloud Private Relay on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac to hide your IP address and browsing activity in Safari and protect your unencrypted internet traffic.

Note: iCloud Private Relay is not available in all countries or regions.

Protect your IP address and browsing activity

iCloud Private Relay helps prevent websites and network providers from creating a detailed profile about you. When Private Relay is turned on, the traffic leaving your device is encrypted and sent through two separate internet relays. This prevents websites from seeing your IP address and location and network providers from collecting your browsing activity. Neither one knows both who you are and what websites you visit.

You can customise the specificity of your IP address location. By default, Private Relay maintains your general location, which allows Safari to show you localised content and results. You can choose to share a broader location.

You can turn iCloud Private Relay on or off at any time. You can turn the feature on or off completely for a device, turn it off temporarily for a device or a website, or adjust the settings for a specific Wi-Fi network, Ethernet network or mobile network plan (SIM).

For more detailed information about how Private Relay works, see the Apple Support article About iCloud Private Relay.
