I’m currently stuck in a used bedroom infested with flies at the time of writing this.
My parents have decided to block internet whenever I try to move my PC back upstairs. Asking them wouldn’t work out because it usually falls on deaf ears.
A few days ago, they moved it without my knowledge, and I noticed that my folding table was gone from my bedroom.
I’m planning to set it back up again, but they might turn my internet off when they know that I’m doing so. I’m trying to get a few ideas and create a plan to move my PC back upstairs.
I found a few tutorials on getting through parental controls, but the tutorials are done on Windows and parental controls are set up using TP-Link.
Deliberately duplicate a mac address, and worse, deliberately pick a device that’s definitely going to be online in the same network segment?
At first I thought you were either trolling or profoundly ignorant.
Then I remembered that wifi is CSMA, and thought, hang on… is this actually a genius idea? Has this user come up with a hack that no-one else knows about? So I tried it.
It doesn’t work. I couldn’t even join.
So no, you are either trolling or ignorant.
Hers some discussion and links, for anyone interested: https://superuser.com/questions/1132935/duplicate-mac-on-a-wifi-network-problems
I think you are missing my point. The “pretending” device connects to router, while the “original” device connects to the pretending device. The 2 interfaces that share the same MAC don’t connect to the same network.
The user also conncets to the pretending device. to hide their access to the router.
Ahhh, thanks! Please excuse my error - I am attempting to perform computation using a kilo of wet squidgy protein and fat.
