Is it possible that the proxying is done via Cloudflare and Fastly's edge computing platforms? It'd be interesting to see where are the Relay requests coming from (i.e. what is the destination server seeing -- who's connecting to it?)

Great point about the ACL.

In Cloudflare's case they already have a consumer-facing product that supports relaying over their network (WARP, with separate IP range versus their reverse proxy service) so Apple is likely using a variant of that.

I was very surprised when I checked and saw Fastly on my iPad as I wasn't aware Fastly had any similar product, in my mind they are (were?) strictly a reverse proxy CDN.

Maybe the sell there leftover ingress bandwidth to apple :-)
