Developers said any connections your app makes over the local network or to private domain names will be unaffected, and that any traffic that comes from using a proxy will also be exempt. In its developer-focused presentation, Apple said Private Relay encryption only covers Safari, the DNS-related traffic on your device, and a small subset of traffic from apps. In Apple's case, however, only some of your device's traffic is specifically handled by Private Relay for encryption. It will then assign you a new IP address, and connect you to one of its network of servers before spitting you out at your destination website. No device-wide encryption via the app: While many VPNs offer a secondary, browser-only plugin, a true standalone VPN is designed to encrypt all of the information coming out of your device through its app. *Private Relay's browser-based IP address encryption benefits are limited to Safari How Private Relay is different to a VPN Your traffic blends in with everyone else's via VPN obfuscation You can overcome geo-location blocks and censorship to access media Your public IP (where you are and who you are) is encrypted, start to finishĪll outgoing data from your device is encrypted via the app Private Relay will also be unavailable in Belarus, Colombia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkmenistan and Uganda. Apple confirmed Private Relay won't be available in China, one of its most important markets. With an underlying technology that centers on encryption, it's unlikely Private Relay will be offered in countries where it may interfere with domestic surveillance or contradict anti-encryption laws.

According to Apple developers, that currently means Private Relay will ignore the traffic of your VPN. On the other hand, Private Relay can be used alongside a traditional VPN, whether that's a personal or company VPN.
