I wonder if this will continue with Apple (and my guess is other similarly sized tech companies) offering VPN. In other words, shutting out Apple's VPN might mean losing 5-10% of your market? Probably not but it will certainly be a new situation for so many non-tech people to have easy access to a VPN and Apple likely pushing it as "good for your privacy"
- judge2020 5y agoApple's VPN explicitly maps users to an IP with a [relatively] close IP address[0] (as in, for IP geolocation purposes), and does minimal actual proxying: > In iOS 15 and macOS 12, Private Relay will apply to all web browsing in Safari, all DNS name resolution queries, and a small subset of traffic from apps. > Specifically, this will include all insecure HTTP traffic, such as TCP port 80. So I can see most services not needing to block iCloud Private Relay. 0: https://mask-api.icloud.com/egress-ip-ranges.csv https://mask-api.icloud.com/egress-ip-ranges.csv
