My WiFi is showing a privacy message and saying blocking DNS traffic.

Specifically encrypted DNS (probably on an Apple device) I'd think. 

 

Without any DNS at all you wouldn't be accessing much.

 

I believe Sky (like most UK ISPs) doesn't currently support encrypted DNS, probably because this would negate their mandatory web filtering.

@Mac73 I use Apple's cloud private relay over a Sky connection which works well but reading Apple's forums there are sporadic reports of the message you report popping up occasionally. The suggested fix of telling the device to forget the WiFi connection and then reconnecting seems to sort it. It was assumed the error message is spurious which many error messages are.
