iCloud+ Private Relay still not working after 2.4.7 app update
The 2.4.7 app update did not fix the problem with Lockdown interfering with iCloud+ Private Relay. There have been 3 updates since this problem began with version 2.4.4, and yet the problem continues. If you are receiving pop-up notices that Private Relay doesn’t work with your cellular plan or your wireless network (when it did before version 2.4.4), the reason is the Lockdown firewall. The solution is to turn the Lockdown firewall off. Once you turn the Lockdown firewall off, Private Relay will function normally again. Advice from the developer to delete and reinstall the app, and remove any remaining VPN network profile does not work. This is on an iPhone 17 Pro Max with iOS 26.6.2.

v2.3.2+ is broken on iOS 17.x
The firewall no longer connects when using a device running iOS 17.x versions or lower. I’ve submitted into to the devs support email address, but no reply from them in the 2 weeks since I’ve submitted the email. When attempting to activate the firewall, all network communications are blocked by the app. I’ve had to fully delete the app from my devices so I can continue to access WiFi/cellular on my phone. Please roll back the app release to v2.3 or release a new version to fix these issues asap. Edit1 - despite the Dev’s response, the app is still not connecting on my 17.x devices. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app and VPN profile multiple times, with no success. Edit2 - still broken with the v2.4.0 update. The same behavior described above. Edit3 - v2.4.1 also still broken. Edit4 - surprise surprise, v2.4.2 is also still broken on iOS 17.x versions. Edit5 - in response to the dev: I have already tried deleting the app, removing the VPN profile, and doing a clean reinstall multiple times. The clean reinstall does not fix the problem. I don’t know how to say it any more clearly - the app continues to be broken, despite these basic “troubleshooting” suggestions that should ‘tOtAlLy’ fix the issue. “Our support systems are undergoing updates.” Really? For the past 7 months that users have been reporting this issue?? Have you been operating without any support staff whatsoever for more than half a year?? Edit6 - for shiggles, I did another clean reinstall of the app, just in case. And now I can confirm 100% that no, the problem is not fixed with a reinstall. Edit 7 - v2.4.4 is still broken for iOS 17.x versions. I did a clean reinstall of the app when I saw the new update. Same behavior described above, the firewall no longer connects, leaving WiFi in a permanent “connecting” loop. Crazy that this is still ongoing. Still broken. Edit 8 - v2.4.5 still does not fix the issue described above. Same behavior described above. At this point, the issue isn’t getting fixed, or your dev team is disastrously incompetent. Either way, Lockdown is no longer an app that I can trust. They’ve also updated their privacy policy to show that they’re using a lot of the trackers that the app was created to block in the first place. That, mixed with the non-functional dev team and no recent privacy audits, make Lockdown more of a privacy liability than a privacy tool. I highly do not suggest this app, even if you’re on a version of iOS that seems to be supported by Lockdown. Edit 9 - the streak continues. v2.4.6 still broken on iOS 17. Edit 10 - v2.4.7 still broken.

App is broken
9/8 - 2.4.7 update does not fix issue. App does not work. Do not install.
8/29 - issue still not resolved with update.
Do not try this app until they have fixed this!
Long time user. As others have noted, app breaks iCloud private relay. Reinstalling VPN configuration does not fix.
Fix needs to be pushed ASAP!

COMPLETE TRASH
dude this app js closes your wifi instead of opening a firewall, and wants subcribtion, and vpn is need subcribition, I gave 5 star because everyone see it, it was hard to close it, dont use
Great app but a small issue!
This app is really good tbh and it works well even if u dont have a subscription and just using it for free. A small issue I have tho is that sometimes the app just freezes a lot, so if I wanted to turn my vpn off or back on I can’t unless i uninstall and redownload it again, but other than that there’s no issues!
