Does private relay hide traffic from ISP?
When Private Relay is enabled, your requests are sent through two separate, secure internet relays. Your IP address is visible to your network provider and to the first relay, which is operated by Apple. Your DNS records are encrypted, so neither party can see the address of the website you're trying to visit.

If all you really want to do is stop websites from building a profile of you and selling it around to advertisers and data brokers, then using iCloud Private Relay on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac is a great option. It's fast, easy, and if you already pay for any amount of iCloud storage, you'll get it for free.
Can Apple Relay be traced?
Since all your traffic is encrypted, no one can know which Web sites you visit or which apps you use, and none of the data you send or receive can be decrypted by a third party. (Apple's iCloud Private Relay only protects Web traffic in the Safari browser.)
Can police track ISP?
So, If you're wondering if the police can track your phone numbers and IP addresses, the answer is - yes, they can. While the police cannot search your phone without a warrant, they have a legal right to watch what you do in public, on social media, and in your home and business.
Does private Relay hide my IP?

Is Private Relay as good as a VPN?

Can I use private Relay and a VPN at the same time?
iCloud Private Relay can currently cause several problems when used alongside a VPN connection. We do not recommend having Private Relay and a VPN connection active at the same time.
Does private Relay change IP address?
Mike Williams of TechRadar explains the Private Relay two-server approach best, saying it “allows websites to have enough of an idea of your location to display relevant content, but not to identify you. The IP address they see changes every time you visit and your real IP is never revealed.”
Does private Relay affect internet speed?
If you use iCloud Private Relay, accessing content on the Internet may become slower. This is because the service conceals your location and your Internet service provider.
Is private relay anonymous?
Private Relay protects users' web browsing in Safari, DNS resolution queries, and insecure http app traffic. Internet connections set up through Private Relay use anonymous IP addresses that map to the region a user is in, without divulging the user's exact location or identity.
What is the disadvantage of private relay?
The big general downside of Private Relays is that usage and applications are minimal. If you're using any browser aside from Safari, you have no additional protection. When you're using anything besides Safari, the ISP has access to everything.
Is Apple private relay like a VPN?
Is Private Relay a VPN? There is certainly some overlap in benefits between Private Relay and VPN. Both use encryption, both mask your true IP address, and both help obscure your internet traffic. But Private Relay is not a VPN and it shouldn't be considered a direct VPN alternative either.
Does private relay encrypt traffic?

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.
Can ISP track private DNS?
Yes, your ISP can see what websites you are visiting. They can do this whether the sites are using HTTPS or not. They can do this whether you use their DNS servers or not.
Can ISP track private IP?
The simple answer is "not in most cases" - however the total answer is a lot more nuanced. In the common case where a router is doing NAT, and where the ISP has no login to the router and there are standard protocols in use like HTTP/HTTPS, the ISP can't see the IP address of the individual devices behind the router.
Can ISP see private IP address?
Your ISP can see your VPN connection because they recognize an unfamiliar IP address. However, they cannot see anything specific about your online activity, like your search and download history or the websites you visit.
