This is because of a new service in Safari, which is similar to a proxy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Proxy_server> or a VPN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:VPN>. It is called iCloud Private Relay. There is a discussion about this <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Apple_iCloud_Private_Relay> on Meta. The goal is to learn what iCloud Private Relay could mean for the communities. - Wikimedia Enterprise <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Enterprise> is a new API <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:API> for those who use a lot of information from the Wikimedia projects on other sites. It is a way to get big commercial users to pay for the data. There will soon be a copy of the Wikimedia Enterprise dataset.
