Apple has already confirmed that other app traffic will go through iCloud Private Relay “no matter what networking API you're using”, with some exemptions:
> Not all networking done by your app occurs over the public internet, so there are several categories of traffic that are not affected by Private Relay.
> Any connections your app makes over the local network or to private domain names will be unaffected.
> Similarly, if your app provides a network extension to add VPN or app-proxying capabilities, your extension won't use Private Relay and neither will app traffic that uses your extension.
> Traffic that uses a proxy is also exempt.

- ls612 5y agoSo will this mean if I’m using Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 that I won’t get the iCloud private relay since they implement DoH as a VPN in iOS?
- firloop 5y agoNot super familiar with 1.1.1.1, but I use NextDNS and it's no longer implemented as a VPN – they use the native iOS encrypted DNS feature. I wonder how iCloud Private Relay works with that.
