My MAC address doesn't change - green314 - 08-19-2020
I have read and applied different tutorials to my machine but none of them seems to work, even restarting the MacBook after having completed the procedure. Tha MAC remains invariant.
I have read these guides:
https://josh.works/shell-script-basics-change-mac-address
https://www.funkyspacemonkey.com/how-to-spoof-your-mac-address
https://poweruser.blog/how-to-spoof-the-wifi-mac-address-on-a-macbook-25e11594a932
Can somebody who has skills and knowledge to do it, help me figure out why I can't change my MAC address.
Thank you.

I haven't personally tried this but given It's free, you've got nothing to lose.

I will try even if I think it won't work, Mac Updates always breaks compatibilities with old apps.
Thanks anyway.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is the purpose for changing your MAC address?

Increase my online privacy; even though I haven't truly discovered yet how can they see my MAC address.

I also tried that way via console/terminal, nothing... I don't know why. Via console, it appears that something has changed, but then after I restart the computer it comes back to the old MAC address.
I'm sure the problem is the OS, I don't think doing it on Ubuntu or Debian (for instance) based would be so dull and hard to do.

You can't go wrong when manually changing It via Device Manager.
