Troubleshooting iOS 15 iCloud Private Relay

Your Child sees Private Relay error messages

Your Child may see pop-up notifications when Private Relay is turned on. Use these steps to ensure your Connect App is updated to work with iOS 15 and the web traffic can be monitored.

On your Child's iPhone or iPad:

1. Go to iOS Settings and tap on your Child's name
2. Go to iCloud 
3. Tap Private Relay
4. Tap the slider next to Private Relay to turn it off (gray)

iOS Devices are not connecting to the Family Zone Box

Applies to: Premium Members in Australia and New Zealand only

Device: Family Zone Box in the home

Parent's app: iOS or Android

If your Child is using an iOS 15 Device connected to the Family Zone Box in your home, the Family Zone Box disconnects their Device when Private Relay is turned on. Install the firmware update to allow the Box to manage Private Relay and monitor your Child's iOS 15 Devices.

On a Parent's phone or tablet:

1. In Settings, tap Home network
2. Look in Firmware and tap Update 
3. At the confirmation message, tap YES
4. Allow 10 minutes for The Box to download, install, and reestablish connections to your Devices
   Do not turn off the power or disconnect your internet service provider's modem during this process

The lights on the front of The Box will blink rapidly for 5-10 minutes (depending on your internet speeds and number of Devices).

Your Child sees a "Cannot connect to server" error

If your Child's School requires Mobile Device Management (MDM) and your Connect App is in Fitler Only mode, use the following steps to fix the "Cannot connect to server" error.

On your Child's iPhone or iPad:

1. In Safari, go to http://www.home.tools/
   If you only see Device is filtered or a Troubleshooting message, you do not have MDM
   If you have MDM, you will be asked to download the CA Certificate
2. After you download the certificate, go to Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings
3. Under "Enable full trust for root certificates", tap the toggle to enable Family Zone
4. Restart your Child's Device to close out any active web connections
