Privacy vs Access: The Trade-off

Understanding the balance between privacy protection and content access

Privacy Tools

  • iCloud Private Relay: Hides IP from websites, but limited to Safari and some apps
  • VPN: Full device protection with encryption, but may affect streaming
  • Browser hardening: Blocks trackers and fingerprinting

Access Tools

  • Smart DNS: Fast streaming access without encryption
  • VPN servers: Choose location for content access
  • Protocol switching: Bypass detection with different methods
