Apple’s Private Relay, an opt-in feature designed to hide a user’s IP address when they browse the internet with Safari, can be circumvented to reveal the supposedly hidden IP address due to a series of flaws.
Researchers revealed the issues in a blog post on Tuesday. The researchers also set up a website where anyone can check if their real IP address leaks, even if they use Private Relay. In a test on Tuesday, TechCrunch verified that the site was able to reveal our real IP address.
