How will this affect your information visibility or your digital track if you are already masking with software?

Private Relay replaces VPN, and is more secure than VPN. And VPN does not provide as much security as you think it does.
Something to think about→Don't use VPN services. · GitHub
There are two legitimate purposes for using VPN:
- To allow access to a private network such as a school or business when you are not on site.
- To allow access outside of a country with a repressive government that has restricted Internet access.
Any other use is risky, and can lead to problems. VPN disguises your location by making you appear to be somewhere else in the world. But you usually can’t control that “somewhere else”, and if it is in a location that an app isn’t approved for the app won’t work. Plus the fact that the provider of the VPN knows everything about you and your location, as well as what sites you access through the VPN. So you are totally dependent on the VPN provider’s honesty. As a start, if the VPN is free, DON’T USE IT. The provider has to make money somehow, and if you aren’t paying them then they are selling your private data to make money. But even those that charge can’t necessarily be trusted. For example, a few years ago Avast was caught selling user browsing data. They claim they have stopped doing so.
You don’t really need VPN when using public Wi-Fi, because all communications between your iPhone and the servers it accesses are end-to-end encrypted.
