lol @ "modofication" – happens to the best of us!

Anyway, yeah, MAC spoofing is like changing your shirt but keeping the same face. Helps if someone’s *only* looking at your shirt, but most trackers aren’t that dumb.

Routers can still see your traffic patterns, device type, etc. And yeah, messing up the modofication can totally break your connection until you fix it.

If anonymity’s the goal, Tails OS randomizes MAC by default. Pair it with Tor, and you’re way better off.
