iCloud Private Relay not working well since v7.2.4

I am using an 60F at home running v7.2.5.

Before I was running v.7.0.11 which was working fine but as I was curious about the v.7.2 train and I’ve read a lot about the stability of it since .4, so I’ve upgraded my 60F.

Since I am on v7.2.4 iCloud Private Relay on all my Apple devices is not working well. I do not see any anomalies in the logs; I just see the devices connecting to different Apple ip addresses on port udp/443.

As a test I’ve created a separate security policy with the destination ip addresses that are used for iCloud Private Relay and made sure I do not any inspection on it.

Separate Security Policy

Since the creation of this security policy iCloud Private Relay is working fine again.

I was under the assumption that if an inspection (I enable IPS, AV, Application Control and SSL Certificate Inspection by default) is seeing something that is not correct this would create a log.

Standard Security Policy for my devices

But I only see allowed traffic from my Apple devices to the iCloud Private Relay ip addresses:

Logs

So I am curious what has changed with the certificate inspection in v7.2 in comparison with v7.0 and why I don’t see any logs about what goes wrong.

Go step by step and enable profiles and functions until you find the thing that creates the problem.
