Privacy warning Query has appeared and it effects connection

[Joey010587]

 can someone explain what’s happening with this? Privacy warning?  Has appeared recently and it’s effecting my connection. How do we resolve it? Thanks

I’ve seen this warning displayed on iPhones if you disable “private WiFi address” in your WiFi Networks Settings. 

Private WiFi address stops your iPhone being tracked by MAC address by giving each network you encounter a unique MAC address for that network. You’ll always appear to have the same mac addess for each network, just not the same mac addess across all networks.

So, maybe change the DNS servers?

It's just pure conjecture on my part. This problem seems common on newer Apple devices.

Would Homesafe generate a warning on an iPhone?

[Sidious]

Just a thought. I wonder if the warning is being generated because of Homesafe? That uses DNS 'sniffing' to work, does it not?

That's an iPhone by the look of it. Did you click on the "Learn more..." message there to see if there were any tips?

Have you clicked on the i button? What information does it give?

Does it help you in resolving the issue?
