Hi Matt, If you can confirm that you have iCloud Private Relay enabled and DNS traffic is passing through iCloud Private Relay and then you enabled a NEDNSProxyProvider and no flows are handed off to your NEDNSProxyProvider then we should get this down as a bug report. Please respond back with a Feedback ID. What happens is, when the private relay is disabled, all works as per expected (that is, the DNS requests are forwarded to the upstream provider) and DNS responses are received for these hostnames. When private relay is enabled, the flows never get passed on to the filter via handleNewFlow. Upon re-toggling, (turning off private relay), the flows start coming through again. I am testing on iOS 15 Beta 5 (iPhone 11). To my this sounds like a bug - should I submit as per your initial recommendation - just wanted to clarify behaviour first Thanks Nick

Hi Matt, I have submitted the Feedback as suggested and the ID for your reference is FB9511164. The fact that some filtering controls may be not supported is a little concerning, esp. when we are also leveraging the NEFilterControlProvider restrictions in our app. Thanks Nick

Hi Matt, Can do - what exactly do you mean by focussed sample ? Is there anything in particular you would like me to look at. I have tried the latest Beta (today) a d it is still happening. Essentially the behaviour seems to be the the Private Relay is capturing the DNS request for the initial ingress proxy for it's DNS request and sending that through to the NEDNSProxyProvider flow rather than the request itself, eg. standard DNS flow with request/response for pretty much any domain ... e.g. in the case below, notpurple.com -> WITH Private Relay enabled ...
