Zenarmor and private Relay

Hello,
I use two networks: one for private browsing and another for guests, both protected by Zenarmor. On the guest network, I block proxies, which includes private relay. However, despite not having this setting enabled on my iPhone, the firewall still detects it and shows a denial in the live sessions log. I frequently see "mask-h2.icloud.com."

I'm not sure if this is the cause, but websites in Safari take a long time to load. I don't experience this issue with other browsers on my iPhone, like Chrome. Does anyone know why Safari tries to connect to that domain and why pages are loading so slowly?

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure, but when iCloud Private Relay is blocked, Safari most likely tries to reach the website through a it, which could be causing the higher latency compared to other browsers.
