Apple’s Private Relay can cause the system to ignore firewall rules

There is no reasonable expectation of privacy on someone else's network, particularly an employer's. Arguably network operators have the ultimate authority on what should and shouldn't happen over their networks on their equipment.

I understand that ad companies have a vested interest in circumventing this and trying to move internet standards to opaque protocols, but until that particular fiefdom is unseated, we have to make reasonable tradeoffs.

In the meantime, we block a massive amount of malware by blocking their ad domains.

I think the point here is you write on their equipment. I was talking about cases where the network owner don't control the endpoints, that is allowing private devices to connect. snooping in that data can be problematic.

This is a massive [Citation needed]. Do you have a court precendence case where you can prove that admins have the right to snoop through private and sensitive data of users that are just connected to some network?
