Apple's private relay service does not sit still
- easton 5y agoIt’ll be interesting if Cloudflare or someone else can release numbers on how many hits they’re getting from Private Relay. I’ve always been curious how many people pay the $2 per month for iCloud.
- whalesalad 5y agoiCloud backup alone is worth it. If you have nightly backups and lose your phone you can just buy a new one and restore.
- sitzkrieg 5y agoand give law enforcement full access to unencrypted messages woohoo!
- watermelon0 5y agoSo it's basically the same as other commonly used messaging services such as email, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram (outside of Secret Chats)?
- postpawl 5y agoYou can choose whether or not to back up messages.
- blitzar 5y agoAnd if you dont use icloud backup the judge is going to deny the prosecution access to your devices?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoNo, but they will have an awful time trying to get into them of course.

- brokenmachine 5y ago>I don’t care about my own privacy or about government surveillance of myself. Please post your phone number, bank account name/PIN and home address. I need them for... reasons.
- javagram 5y agoHaha :-) My home address has been listed in WHOIS for years and it’s never been a problem for me, I give my phone number out to any company that interacts with me and asks for it. When I grew up we always got paper phone books and you could look up anyone’s number, it wasn’t a problem. Bank account PIN… That actually needs to be secure, but it goes over HTTPS, I don’t need a VPN on top of it. If the Govt wants the cash in my bank they’ll just tell the bank and take it all, without my PIN anyway.

- ec109685 5y agoI don’t see my IP address changing that fast using various what’s my ip services. It did change when I toggled back and forth between the two IP location settings.
- jsudi 5y agoJust another reason most websites are going to stick to ipv4.
- foobar33333 5y agoIs it any better for site tracking to have 1000 users show as the same v4 address or have 1000 users jump around the same v6b block?
- hnrj95 5y agois it supposed to safeguard against dns leaks? in my cursory tests, it looks like it doesn’t
