Last time I went on vacation, the hotel wifi wouldn't let my laptop on for some reason, but my phone was fine. The portal to log in just wouldn't come up on my laptop.

So I took my phone off the wifi and just spoofed my phone's MAC address on the laptop. Did that for the whole week I was there.

If you've got a VPN running, it won't work. Turned it off and the prompt came right up

Nah, I don't typically run a VPN.

I just spent a whole week trying to prevent mac spoofing on my small wisp network network... Still trying...

I'll probably forget to check when I get home. Does anyone know if Android randomizes the MAC address on every disconnect/connect with the random MAC option enabled?

Afaik it does.
