Apple’s Private Relay is a service designed to enhance user privacy by masking their actual IP addresses, making it impossible for anyone, including vendors like DataVisor, to ascertain them.
This feature is implemented at the level of Apple’s servers, and no parties can bypass this layer of privacy protection. When a user utilizes Apple’s Private Relay service, only the IP address of Apple’s Private Relay servers can be seen, not the user’s actual IP.
Although the actual IP can not be seen, there are still ways to look at the general traits and build up metrics and rules to help with your detection such as:
The IP address might be seen as coming from Apple’s IP range or the IP range of an Apple partnered Content Delivery Network (CDN).
The location might appear to be generalized to a larger region rather than a specific location.
The IP address might change more frequently than usual, as private relay services generally rotate IP addresses.
