I'm having significant issues with networking on beta 2... do not recommend the update. Turning off limit IP tracking has done little to resolve the issues.
Got a tip for us?

For anyone experiencing network connection problems or having issues with loading websites while using a network filter like Little Snitch or LuLu - Disabling the filter immediately restores connectivity.
Best Solution for now ist disabling Private Relay because that restores connectivity.

Let's say that to get an idea, we would at least need to know the model and connection method.
I have no problems with a MacBook M1 Pro connected via Ethernet (Realtek 8157). No filtering software, just the normal firewall active.

I can confirm that uninstalling Little Snitch and disabling "Limit IP Tracking" resolved networking issues for me. It's worth a shot for anyone else experiencing similar issues.
I did try this but it hasn't made a difference. This is so frustrating. Other ideas?

I have an M3 Pro MacBook Pro connected via WiFi, don’t yet 3rd party networking software, have limit IP tracking and private relay turned on.
Great, we're making good progress. The only thing we both have in common is that it's a MacBook Pro. 😂

I lately canceled my iCloud+ membership and lost Private Relay. I wonder if "Limit IP address tracking even is doing anything without Private Relay.
It's still activated on my Mac and I don't have any problems since all network filters are gone. But I remember seeing a message that it doesn't have any affect anymore when Private Relay was disabled automatically after my iCloud downgrade.
Safari:
In Mail I am always blocking everything and that disables the first option:
How do I know if those options still work without Private Relay? It's not even mentioned in the help.

I'm seeing serious Internet issues too. Dropbox (or rather, Maestral) isn't connecting, and I can't access local IP addresses. Some websites are loading okay-ish, but Mail is taking forever to download. I'm on an M1 Pro MacBook Pro.
It seems pretty borked, and I'd advise folks to steer clear for now.
I too experience networking issues. My work VPN/ssh access do not function correctly. Restart fixes it very briefly, and after 5 minutes it's out again. Very annoying.
Strange release.
Personally, I encountered the installer problem, but Onyx solved it (others did not).
No network problems, full and stable speed internal and external network access (2.5gbps).
I can customize icons as before.
It reminds me of this from many years ago:
“Apple's attempt to replace mDNSResponder with discoveryd in OS X Yosemite (10.10) caused major network instability, forcing a return to mDNSResponder in El Capitan. This transition resulted in high CPU usage, erratic DNS behavior, and dropped connections for many users, marking a notorious period in macOS networking.”
