Everything works fine via iCloud private relay. No account or other mitigations required.

So perhaps it’s not VPNs that are blocked and instead the traffic you’re sharing an IP with.

That is a possibility. Then again, another user reported icloud private relay not working[1].

Thresholds, location constraints, or ab testing could be at play too.

Are you logged in? They’re only blocking suspicious bot like traffic on VPN. Logged in accounts can still use it over VPN.
