TL;DR Summary

Security researchers say iCloud Private Relay, designed to hide your IP in Safari, can leak the user’s real IP when a passkey-related request bypasses Private Relay via the OS credential service. The issue affects iOS browsers that rely on WebKit (including Tor's OnionBrowser), with a fix planned for Fall 2026. It’s not a VPN; Private Relay only protects Safari traffic.
