Describe the bug
I am using Apple's Private Relay feature (which is basically their VPN for their apps like Safari, Mail, etc.) on my Apple devices. After I install AmneziaVPN on my MacBook, Apple Private Relay disables with push notification, that the software (AmneziaVPN) is incompatible with Private Relay. On the iPhone they co-exist well.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Settings - Account - iCloud - Private Relay'
Click on the switch to turn it on
Install AmneziaVPN with brew brew install amneziavpn
You'll get the error that software is incompatible with Private Relay.
Private Relay can't be turned on unless I delete AmneziaVPN and reboot computer.

Expected behavior
Should co-exist with Private Relay

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: MacOS (MacBook M4 Pro 14-inch, Nov 2024)
Version: 26.1 (25B78)

Server (please complete the following information):

host: Amnezia hosted
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
