I've had to airplane mode my laptop a couple times to get the "iCloud plus relay" to reactivate + if it doesn't basic web pages won't even load. Has anyone else experienced this?

Haven’t seen that yet. So far it’s been working great. But maybe that‘s because of my physical location, near apple’s HQ :)

What VPN address does relay give you? One in your own country? Can you choose a different country?
When I check the DNS / IP witch Apples VPN - it says "Fastly" as the provider...but it doesn't let you pick your country or anything...just auto.

I haven't noticed it slowness really on my imac, in ios yes. I had to turn it off. It was taking 30-90 seconds for a web page to load sometimes.

On the mac, I do have a problem with some sites remembering that I am logged in.
