Private Relay hides your certain information when you use the web and visit websites. Information that is contained in your web traffic, for example your IP address and DNS, is not shared with the sites you access. When this feature is active, your requests are sent through two separate relays. The first, operated by Apple, receives this information and encrypts it. The second, operated by a third-party content provider, generates a temporary IP address and connects you to the site based on the decrypted name. Therefore, Private Relay protects your privacy while browsing the internet.
