Enable or disable private transfer, iPhone or iPad

Apple has private retransmission designed to prevent advertising networks and other services from building a profile of you based on your browsing activities. When using private retransmission claims Apple that there is no party, too Apple cannot view your internet behavior yourself.

Private Relay accomplishes this by sending your requests through two separate Internet relays. The first handles your IP address, and the second creates a temporary IP address and connects you to the site. Along the way, private relay encrypts your DNS to hide the address of the site you're visiting from intermediaries on the network.

It is a nice technique and it also saves most users additional monthly costs for a VPN server. At least if you are alone with Apple devices work. Private Transfer is part of your iCloud+ subscription. By default, Private Transfer is not enabled, you can enable or disable it and then configure it.

You will see two options here, namely “Keep general location” and “Use country and time zone”.

“Maintain global location” means you get an anonymous IP address that appears to website administrators as if it is in your region. If you enable “Use country and time zone” you will get a random IP address from somewhere within your current country and time zone.
