[Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] July 28, according to TechCrunch, Apple's iCloud Private Relay service has been interrupted worldwide since Thursday, affecting some Apple users in major markets such as Europe, India, Japan and the United States. The interruption caused users to encounter access problems when using the Safari browser and reported Internet connection failures for installed applications, which brought inconvenience to users' network experience.

Apple's system status webpage also confirmed the outage, noting that the iCloud Private Relay service may be "slow or unavailable" for some users. This news quickly attracted the attention and discussion of users, and many users expressed concerns about the stability of the service.

iCloud Private Relay is a privacy protection feature launched by Apple in 2021 specifically for iCloud+ users. It helps users protect themselves from online trackers by encrypting traffic flowing through customer devices. The service uses the Oblivious DNS-over-HTTPS protocol designed by Apple in collaboration with Cloudflare to send requests through two independent Internet relays to limit web trackers and Internet service providers from tracking users by analyzing their IP addresses, locations, and browsing activities.

However, this outage exposed the stability issues of the service. For users who are continuously affected, Apple recommends that they temporarily turn off the iCloud Private Relay service. The specific operation path is "Settings" > "Personal Information" > "iCloud" > "Private Relay". Although Apple has not yet made an official response to the outage, users generally hope that Apple can solve this problem as soon as possible and restore the normal operation of the service.
