iCloud Private Relay Experiencing Outage

I have been unable to use any online services (apps, YouTube, web browsing) for two days now with Private Relay turned on. Really crazy.
Definitely still an issue this morning for Safari on my iPhone. I turned off Private Relay and it seems to be working fine.
Interestingly, when I was having issues last night, my son, who was standing two feet away from me, was not experiencing the same problems. That was also true with coworkers throughout the day yesterday.

you missed the irony in it. visit the apple server website for fun. apple is not in the server business for a reason. we old folks know that, and this is the place to make fun of a tech giant, that cannot see its own feet anymore…
Load Balancing is in Art of its own, those server guys get real big bucks to enable the best performance per Invested $ And because apple is renting servers from g and m and also a they often miss the point of being as sharp, whenever a competitor configures the scripts.
apple is getting too fat and therefore arrogant, but the Ceo is wearing a face device every day, every day… 🫣
i guess you know by now, we are on the same side.
but maybe i reduce the understatement a little bit.
Ok private relay is back this am. I had to reboot my iPhone for that to show as back. On MacBook Pro though error was still there after reboot but turning private relay off and back on fixed the error there. Now seems to be back. While the problem was there however I was having no problem accessing YouTube and other sites that folks here are having problems accessing, Health app was fine on my devices ect. Just was not gettting private relay and its “protection” but as I mentioned earlier with beta 4 iPadOS 18 all I had to do was turn the ip address limiting in Wifi and private relay was working on my iPad Pro where I spend lots of time during day so at least there I apparently had the protections of private relay
Since this morning I've been getting this message on Mac Mail… since I haven't changed anything in my settings I hope that this private relay outage might be to blame.
Toronto, Canada - got the popup on both iPhone and Mac yesterday, and same still this morning of 26 July.
System Services online confirms it's still a thing

That is odd considering Private Relay only applies to Safari. Internet traffic from all other apps do not/cannot use Private Relay. Are you sure something isn't acting up with your router or ISP?
Glad to see this report. I thought it was just me. I've had to turn it off for now for my web browsers to work consistently on both my Mac and iDevices.
Glad I found this thread. All the settings on my computer seemed to be in order but could not load remote content privately. The Apple System Status page shows issues with iCloud Private Relay.
Apple - Support - System Status
Status for all planned and unplanned events for Apple Services.
I was wondering when I was checking my personal email a little big ago why it wasn’t loading content. I hard reset my phone and that solved it for me. I thought a setting was changed inadvertently.
I just got this message on my Mac, hadn’t done anything related to it.
I wonder if it’s pulling the wrong notification of “return in 24h” instead of “when available again”.
My Mac fixed itself while sleeping and not connected to the internet. It announced that Private Relay was working again the moment I opened the lid and before connecting to a network. This indicates to me that this was a time sensitive bug of sorts that was pushed out to machines and not a network condition at all. Sonoma 14.5.
