It definitely masks your IP and routes you through a different service. I was 
trying it out once and a TV site was giving me greif about my location. Figured 
out what happened as I was experimenting with the iCloud Relay at the time.

I don’t think iCloud Private Relay does the same thing as a VPN service, which 
makes it appear that your IPs location is somewhere different than where you 
really are.

I would think the best solution would be iCloud Private relay. It’s already 
builtin to the cloud and while not exactly hidden, it wouldn’t show up as an 
extra app. I don’t know how it compares to the other VPN’s, but I would imagine 
since it’s Apple it’s probably good considering how they are with privacy.

Hi there everyone you might want to give some thought to using a VPN when you 
go abroad. My dad’s wife made a trip to China last year and it turned out when 
she got to China. They inspected everybody’s iPhones to see what apps they were 
using, and when she heard about the inspection, she had to take the VPN app off 
her phone. She wanted to be able to check her email outside of China while she 
was there. It turns out because of what the Chinese were doing. She was not 
able to do that and she could not respond to my email until she got back home. 
That was very sad.

Hi all,

So I’m reading that you can bypass country restrictions by using a VPN.  
Thinking about giving it a try.  What VPN are people here using?  Any 
accessibility issues?
TIA,
Donna
