You will usually see this when you have turned off "Private Wi-Fi address" for that network.

To get around that, go into Settings->WiFi and then click on the "i" in the blue circle.

You will then see an option down below Low Data Mode of "Private Wi-Fi Address". Enable that and that warning should disappear.
