Colliding privacy protectors

There is some configuration in your network that is blocking the use of both privacy features. VPNs or Proxies can be a cause, and there could be some settings in your Router that interfere, but I don't know what those might be.

Alright, so I recently upgraded to Monterey, I'm late to the party, I know.

I find the "protect Mail-activity" function in the mail application great, it protects my privacy which I have no issues with. Although it says that my network settings prohibit content from being loaded, and I then have to load the content directly for each individual mail. Which kind of defeats the purpose as I assume that means I'm not using the dual-relay function ("read more" popup under mail>preferences>privacy) after all.

However, if I disable the "limit IP-adress tracking" option in my network settings, the email content loads perfectly while still keeping the "protect Mail-activity" function turned on. I'm guessing this is because the "protect Mail-activity" function allows one of the relays to track the IP-address, but then the network setting limits that, thus blocking the "protect Mail-activity" function from working as intended.

So: is there a way that I can have both? I feel like two built-in privacy protection functions should be able to work in parallel, right?

In all honesty, if you never had an issue prior to Monterey with your email— then I would simply not use the 'new features' as advertised that seem to have internal conflicts...
