Yes, all PayPal payments on all web sites within Safari do not work with Private Relay. The reason is that PayPal checks the IP address and if there were a certain amount of payments from this IP address in a short time the payment will be blocked. As with Private Relay many people have the same IP address this blocking is triggered constantly.


There is no solution for this problem. I think the PayPal issue is the biggest problem of Private Relay currently.

Hello ssltx,


You can find some good information about iCloud Private Relay and how it works here: About iCloud Private Relay


Just to confirm, is this happening when using the PayPal website? If you're experiencing an issue with a website not working as expected, please review the information in the "If a website or network doesn't work with Private Relay" part of the above link for some steps that may help.


Take care!
