If you go to the iCloud Private Relay on your device, the setting shows that it is temporarily unavailable due to a technical problem.
Private Relay is an internet privacy service that hides your IP address in Safari and protects your unencrypted traffic. When it’s on, you can browse the web in a more secure and private way. Private Relay is currently in beta. Some websites may have issues, like showing content for wrong regions or requiring extra steps to sign in.
iCloud Private Relay is available to anyone with a paid iCloud account.
