I’m in the UK but when logging into some websites such as National Lottery I get blocked with a message telling me I’m outside of the UK.

I don’t have a VPN active as far as I can tell. Is there a way of checking for sure?

Do you have iCloud Private Relay enabled at all?

You can also check for VPNs underneath Settings>General>VPN & Device Management.

Thanks. Turns out you were correct, Private Relay was set to on.

Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay

I think I would have turned this on when following a Youtube video on which iOS settings to turn on. I've turned it off and all now seems well

Thank you :)
