Will AiProtect work with Apples iCloud Private Relay in Safari? I just realised that Private Relay encrypts the DNS lookup, before sending it to a second relay. Doesn't this bypass AiProtect, since Trend Micro can't check the encrypted URL/DNS lookup?

EDIT:
I just tested it, and Private Relay disables AiProtect and NextDNS. I used this site https://www.wicar.org/test-malware.html posted here on the forum. With PR off, the sites were blocked. With PR on, it opened them. So Private Relay keeps you anonymous, but not safe against malware it seems. Bummer and also quite alarming!
