⚠️ Important: iCloud Private Relay can bypass filtering on iPhones

If a family member's iPhone has iCloud+ and Private Relay turned on, Safari's traffic skips The Blocker's filtering entirely — even on a correctly set up home network. This is the most common reason filtering appears "not to work" on one specific device.

To fix it: on that iPhone, go to Settings → tap your name → iCloud → Private Relay, and turn it off.

We recommend checking this on every iPhone in your household during setup.
