I can't turn off private relay

See this Apple article: About iCloud Private Relay

Since my iPad was updated with iOS 15, the only option available with iCloud Private relay is Upgrade to iCloud+, with a monthly subscription, which I do not want or need. I cannot turn it off. Since that “update” Safari fails to load websites, and the recommended “fix” of resetting network connections, rebooting and re-entering my network password only seems to help temporarily. This updated iOS security measure is not working for me and Apple should give users the choice to opt out.

Yes iCloud Private Relay is a part of an iCloud+ subscription.

Safari fails to load websites,

Not sure why, try to optimize the range of the mobile network, see this Apple article:

If Hotspot & VPN are On, turn both Off.

I do not have a subscription to iCloud+, don’t feel the need and am not interested in paying a monthly fee.

so why did this iOS 15 upgrade cripple my iPad with Private relay that I can’t turn off? It’s like extortion.

My next tablet will be android.

Good luck.
