Several aspects of the iCloud Private Relay make it more suited to proxy services rather than virtual private networks. There are a few features on which the iCloud Private Relay lacks that a VPN can fill. It's only compatible with Safari. You may feel safe from third parties if your surfing activity is restricted to Safari. However, once you step outside the facility to use another program, you become a target for all the hungry sharks (cybercriminals) lurking out there. But don't worry because an iPad VPN tries to accomplish precisely that. In terms of speed, NordVPN is slightly slower than an iPad VPN. The iCloud Private Relay transmits your data across two independent servers before sending it on its way to your final destination. However, because most iPad VPNs only use one server, they can quickly encrypt and process your data. Your virtual position will not be alterable. The iCloud Private Relay service does not enable you to access geo-restricted material, as you had hoped. It just gives you a single IP address that indicates the country where you are now residing.
