I am blocking ads via my router DNS. When using Private Relay I see the ads again, which is makes using apps very annoying.
Plus, I dont see any benefit of hiding my network traffic here in Germany, tbh.
- jeroenhd 4y agoThe DNS issue is intentional. Trackers have collected information about people using VPNs before by generating unique domain lookups for a visit and watching where the DNS query originates from. Theoretically, editing your hosts file might provide the same filters even with Apple's pseudo-TOR enabled if the system respects user preferences. That might be a challenge on iOS, though.
- bowsamic 4y agoOne reason that might not affect you is that piracy is heavily prosecuted in Germany
- Nextgrid 4y agoThis is limited to Safari though, so completely useless for piracy.
- bowsamic 4y agoNo, a lot of online streaming sites started using BitTorrent in the background to stream the video, and a lot of people got fined in Germany because of this
- 88840-8855 4y agocan you kindly share the source?
- bowsamic 4y agoNo? A lot of anime sites. Google it
- jedisct1 4y agodnscrypt-proxy works fine with Private Relay.
- atVelocet 4y agoI recommend using something like NextDNS, DNSCloak or Blockada: - Local VPN Apps like Lockdown can block DoT but not DoH - Manual DNS settings don't block DoH or DoT. AFAIK you need an app with specific entitlements? Maybe someone can clarify this? - Private Relay works as expected I am using NextDNS on all iOS devices and it works great. Get yourself an account and configure it to your needs. Don't forget to enable the block site instead of 0.0.0.0., then download their CA and trust it.
