iCloud Private Relay Unavailable

Giving update: With private relay on and message saying it was unavailable, I was unable to open a chat session with Apple Support. I had to turn off private relay in order to start a chat session. Once connected, I sent screen shots of desktop message and iCloud message saying "Private Relay Unavailable." Important to note that private relay was working on all my other devices (iPad Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max) so only devices impacted were my Mac laptops. Apple had me create a test user on my Mac, switch to test user. I had to disconnect from the chat since changing to test user would terminate the chat session. After switching to test user, private relay came back on. Switching back to my user account, private relay still worked. I made no other changes. This was two days ago and private relay has continued to work. Not sure why and not sure what the problem was. If any changes, I will post another update.

Private Relay just went down again. This time I switched my Wifi from LAN to Hotspot on my iPhone, Private Relay came right back on. I switched back to my LAN Wifi, Private Relay is still working. Apple still needs to identify why this is happening but at least this gives you a solution to get Private Relay working again.

Another update, just completed 3rd call to Apple support. Work around solution was to turn off Wifi, connect USB-C ethernet (Belkin). Private Relay still unavailable. Disconnected ethernet, left Wifi off, now "Private Relay is Active" message showed on desktop. This was with no networking. Turned Wifi back on, private relay remains active. Completed restart, private relay still active after restart. So far, private relay is still working. Apple Support documented these steps for anyone else that contacts them for this problem.

That did not last long...private relay just went down again. I guess working with Apple Support did not resolve the problem.
