Works for me. Here is my setup if the info helps.

Three ISPs bonded/balanced - Act, Airtel, Jio.

Goes through AdGuad DNS + Apple Private Relay turned ON with "Maintain General Location."

Note: I had never used the ISPs DNS since OpenDNS days. So, OpenDNS, Google, CloudFlare, NextDNS, AdGuard.

A reminder that this all nearly happened in the US with SOPA and PIPA, which would have brought internet censorship to the United States, ostensibly for stopping the sharing of copyrighted material (at least, to start with).

The internet banded together on that, and Congress hasn’t dared strengthen copyright laws since in over a decade of fallout. I think it’s a shame we can do it again for Right to Repair and DMCA 1201 repeal, but it’s odd to look back and know how close it could have happened here, and how it still could if we lose vigilance.

i'm using govt owned railwire fiber connection (this is the only fiber available in my village) and its working, to be fair lot of things that don't work on jio seems to work on railwire, like DNS route for some torrent sites, seems the private orgs had resources to implement new restrictions but railwire seems to lack it, (have vpn for security i occasionally check things without vpn)
