Why does my iPhone say private Relay unavailable?
If Private Relay has been turned off for a specific network, you can try turning it back on in Wi-Fi, Cellular Data Options, or Network settings. If you regularly switch between multiple network configurations, such as Dual SIM or Wi-Fi and Ethernet, make sure that this setting is set for each network independently.

If your system settings prevent Private Relay from working
If you see this message, a third-party app – such as a VPN or internet filtering software – may have installed settings or extensions that are incompatible with Private Relay.
Is private Relay just a VPN?
A VPN encrypts all of the traffic you send and receive, while Private Relay only encrypts Safari, the DNS-related traffic on your device, and a small subset of traffic from apps. A VPN allows you to choose a specific server location, meaning you can change your virtual location when needed and gain Internet freedom.
