icloud – Non-public relay working along with Mullvad


More often than not I’ve iCloud Non-public Relay enabled. Often I take advantage of Mullvad VPN. Just lately, I have no idea precisely when, this mix stopped working.

After set up of Mullvad VPN, iCloud Non-public Relay just isn’t working anymore. I get this pop-up stating

Non-public Relay Unavailable Your system settings are incompatible with Non-public Relay.

macOS notification stating Private Relay Unavailable

Uninstalling Mullvad VPN and rebooting brings Non-public Relay again to life. However I nonetheless need to use Mullvad VPN from time to time. In order that’s not a everlasting resolution.

I attempted to manually disable all Mullvad parts. To do that, I ranthe first a part of the Mullvad uninstall script, see beneath. After operating this script and turning non-public relay on and off I nonetheless get the identical error.

echo "Stopping GUI course of ..."
sudo pkill -x "Mullvad VPN" || echo "No GUI course of discovered"

echo "Stopping and unloading mullvad-daemon system daemon ..."
DAEMON_PLIST_PATH="/Library/LaunchDaemons/web.mullvad.daemon.plist"
sudo launchctl unload -w "$DAEMON_PLIST_PATH"
sudo rm -f "$DAEMON_PLIST_PATH"

sudo dscl . -delete /teams/mullvad-exclusion || echo "Didn't take away 'mullvad-exclusion' group"


echo "Resetting firewall"
sudo /Purposes/Mullvad VPN.app/Contents/Assets/mullvad-setup reset-firewall || echo "Didn't reset firewall"
sudo /Purposes/Mullvad VPN.app/Contents/Assets/mullvad-setup remove-device || echo "Didn't take away system from account"

On additional investigation I discovered the next concern Mullvad-daemon (with out VPN lively) on macOS Ventura disrupts iCloud Non-public Relay #4215. On the Mullvad GitHub. So it is a frequent drawback.

What I’m know on the lookout for is a workaround. Is it doable to briefly disable Mullvad and allow Non-public Relay once more, with out uninstall and reboot?

This concern exists with Mullvad VPN 2022.05 on each macOS 13.1 and 13.2.1
