I'm seeing some hits from Fastly and Akamai IP's that are Apple iCloud Private Relay. I know there will be more, from other sources.
As opposed to pretty much any other VPN hit that has actually made it through to my web server, hits from this apple private relay look to be actually legit, and not some lame scraping or exploit probing.
Now I get the idea behind this, and I can't see how any scrapers or crawlers could actually use it, so most operators of web servers would probably be ok with it, although the IP information is useless for tracking / ID purposes, and I don't know if UA is touched / modified or not.
I've been blocking these private relay IP's upon discovery, I assume that anyone that really wants to hit my server will turn off the relay (hopefully it's not a cumbersome thing to do). I get a lot of info from the IP and I don't serve cookies or have any tracking at all. No links in my web-code to anything that's not physically on my web server.
Comments?
