I just got my M1 MacBook Air back from having the screen repaired, and now the Private Relay no longer works.
Is there a way I can go through an error log, or some way of diagnosing this issue? It's not clear which system settings may be preventing iCloud Private Relay from functioning
I removed all VPN applications, and even deleted my firewall that I was using. Please help
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.4
When iCloud Private Relay is enabled, the Safari browser on your Mac, in theory, will use specific Apple DNS servers to act on any web page requests.
By "not working" are you saying that when you enabled the relay, you are no longer able to access web pages using a URL? If that is true, can you access them with the actual site web server's IP addresses?
One troubleshooting step would be to run the Terminal app, and then, enter the following at the command prompt:
If properly enabled, the result of that command should be: NXDOMAIN
As you know iCloud Private Relay is still in beta. As such, see the following support article to make sure you are enabling it properly on your Mac:
Thanks, I did see that support article, but this really just boils down to checking the box to enable the feature. Which does not work for me.
Can I reinstall the OS and try it on a fresh system? What's the best way to go about doing this
In iCloud settings, where I can check the box for Private Relay, it says "Unavailable - Incompatible System Settings"
But I have no indication as to WHICH system settings!
iCloud Private Relay - incompatible system settings
