I have a privacy warning on my personal WiFi account. It showed up just last night. Since it’s on my own account, I rather not use a random WiFi, what can I do to get rid of the warning and problems

None of the links provided in this article answer the question. If iCloud private relay is managing DNS traffic, then it’s an iCloud issue. Most likely because the internet service provider does not allow changes to their DNS servers. Try turning off iCloud Private Relay (Beta). You can also turn off Limit IP address tracking inside the wifi info page.
