Volume Hash Mismatch
Hi, I've installed Monterey Beta 1 .... and then did an OTA update to MR B2. After the update to MR B2 ... I've started to get this "Volume Hash Mismatch" in my notification center ... I've tried to reboot into Recovery, and do a "First Aid" an all volumes in my MacBook Air's ssd ... But this message still re-appears. Any idea why this happens? or a fix? cheers, Daniel.

iCloud Private Relay and Little Snitch
Dear Apple, I use Little Snitch (An application firewall) to manage exactly what websites/domains apps should be allowed internet access. And which sites shouldn't have any access. Like in Safari or Mail ... I don't grand access to hostnames that include anything that can be derived to have an association to "Tracking" ... say: Little Snitch works like a charm. Or to say: It works until you don't enable "iCloud Private Relay". With iCloud Private Relay turned on, it circumvents Little Snitch granting access to every site/hostname without checking with my "Application Firewall" - if it's allowed to have access to said site or not. I guess this is because iCPR is 1st in the hierarchy over Little Snitch. And it makes sense. If you don't have an Application Firewall running ... you want iCPR to be the 1st to intercept all connection activities. But for us who do have an Application Firewall ... it doesn't. I wish to go into "Set Service Order" and drag Little Snitch to be 1st in this list ... then iCPR ... and then Ethernet 1 ... etc etc. This way, I could 1st block any access to any "Tracking site" ... don't even let the app connect to it! Since, why should they even have my data? Any data about me?! ... Even if it "anonymised", it's best to not give them any data at all. Null ... zilch! :-) Could you please add/tweak this "Set Service Order" to allow/grant us, the users to choose how we would like to filter our connections. cheers, Daniel

System Preferences --> Network --> Ethernet --> Limit IP Address Tracking
Hi, I see that in macOS 12 (running 12.1), there is a new setting in Network preferences pane: System Preferences --> Network --> Ethernet --> Limit IP Address Tracking Limit IP address tracking by hiding your IP address from known trackers in Mail and Safari. What does it actually do? I tried searching the web, but it seems like this quite new and nothing is written about this new feature.
