Cloud Streaming - Manage iCloud Private Relay

If your streaming portal is configured to authenticate with IP address, you can temporarily allow Swank to see your IP address:*

• iPhone or iPad: Tap the Page Menu button, then tap Show IP Address.
• Mac: In Safari, choose View > Reload and Show IP Address.

If you turn off Private Relay for a specific website, your network provider will also be able to see which site you're browsing.

*If you don't see the option to temporarily allow a website to see your IP address, update your device to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, and try again.

If a network doesn't work with Private Relay

You can turn off Private Relay for a specific network using the Limit IP Address Tracking setting.*

• If you turn off Private Relay for a specific network, the setting for that network applies to all of your devices for which Private Relay is turned on.
• If you regularly switch between multiple network configurations (such as Dual SIM or Wi-Fi and Ethernet), make sure that you apply this setting for each network independently.

You can try to turn Private Relay back on for a specific network in Wi-Fi, Cellular Data Options, or Network settings.

*In earlier versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, this setting is called iCloud Private Relay.

Turn off Private Relay for a specific Wi-Fi network on your iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Settings app, then tap Wi-Fi.
2. Next to the Wi-Fi network, tap the More Info button.
3. Scroll down and tap Limit IP Address Tracking.

Turn off Private Relay for a specific cellular network on your iPhone or iPad

1. Go to Settings > Cellular.
2. Under SIMs, select your Primary phone number. In iOS 18 or earlier, tap Cellular Data Options.
3. Tap Limit IP Address Tracking.

Turn off Private Relay for a specific network on your Mac

In macOS Ventura or later:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Settings.
2. Click Network in the sidebar, then click the network service that you're using (such as Wi-Fi) on the right.
3. Click the Details button next to the name of the network that you're connected to.

4. Turn off "Limit IP address tracking."

   

In macOS Monterey:

1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
2. Click Network and select the network from the list to see more options.
3. Click the checkmark next to Limit IP Address Tracking.

If your Mac system settings prevent Private Relay from working

In System Settings on your Mac, you might see an alert that says, "Some of your system settings prevent Private Relay from working."

If you see an alert, a third-party app — such as a VPN or internet filtering software — might have installed settings or extensions that are incompatible with Private Relay. For example, the third-party app might have installed a kernel extension or applied custom packet filter rules.

If you want to use Private Relay on your Mac, turn off or uninstall the third-party app. If you can't turn off or uninstall the app, you might not be able to use Private Relay on your Mac.
