Private relay

I signed up for private relay, tried find my ip from Browser and as Apple suggested it was showing some generic like USA or like that in several sites. However when I hit the below URL it was able to find my IP4 perfectly fine. Is this a glitch with the Relay that needs fixing?

The link on top of this page, under the "Related Article” is the process and probably you have missed the following points while going through that link.

  • Your IP address is visible to your network provider and to the first relay, which is operated by Apple. 
  • Some websites, networks, or services may need to make updates for Private Relay, including networks that require the ability to audit traffic or perform network-based filtering—such as business or education networks—or services that rely on viewing your browsing activity, like parental controls or some “zero rated” services that don’t count against your data usage.
