You might have seen all the coverage of Apple’s iCloud Private Relay feature seemingly being blocked by cellular carriers.

Do the same for Wi-Fi
Now Apple iCloud Private Relay should be switched on, for both your cellular plan and your WiFi. If you use any other Wi-Fi networks other than your home one, make sure you do the same check on those.
