Hi,
I see that in macOS 12 (running 12.1), there is a new setting in Network preferences pane:
System Preferences --> Network --> Ethernet --> Limit IP Address Tracking
Limit IP address tracking by hiding your IP address from known trackers in Mail and Safari.
What does it actually do?
I tried searching the web, but it seems like this quite new and nothing is written about this new feature.
Search for "iCloud Private Relay"
e.g. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212614
Or specifically for Limit IP Address Tracking:

The "iCloud Private Relay" is located under:
System Preferences --> Apple ID --> iCloud --> iCloud Private Relay
And know about it.
but this "Limit IP Address Tracking" is located under the Network settings:
System Preferences --> Network --> Ethernet --> Limit IP Address Tracking
And I haven't seen it previously when I tested some of the macOS 12 Beta's. Don't know when they added this new option under the Network options. And why I'm wondering it's now there :-)
Did you read the 2nd link I mentioned?
Thanks @robnotyou. So it's an extension of if, to fix the issue that coughfacebookcough (and the like) where circumventing 👍
