Question / Issue:
Hello. Now that I’m using the Kibosh MT6000 router for my wifi connections, when I open and use my Mail app on my MacBook or desktop Mac, it doesn’t allow me to automatically load content of the email when I first view the email. All graphics are hidden, and it says “Your network preferences prevent content from loading privately.”
Then for each and every email that comes in, I have to manually click a box at the top that says “Load Content Directly”, and then having done that, the content appears in the email window. How do I set things with my Kibosh network so that the content loads automatically?
Answer / Solution:
This sounds like your Kibosh is blocking iCloud Private Relay (iPR) by Apple – and this can impact Safari and iCloud email client.
iPR will break all Family Safe Internet Filters unless it’s blocked – which Kibosh does (but you can turn it back on).
Solution(s):
How to turn iPR back on (per device) – but this removes all Internet privacy and protections.
A better path – try turning off iPR in your macOS System Settings:
- navigate to System Settings > your Apple ID > iCloud.
- Locate the Private Relay section under iCloud+, then toggle the switch to Off, then confirm by clicking Turn Off Private Relay.
Or you can open your your iCloud email in a browser.
