They mean the iPhone’s MAC address, right?
Wifi Address…
AAAAAAAAAHHHHH
I really hate these random MAC addresses as a parent with teens. It’s almost impossible to filter internet content. I had to give them their own SSID so I could block shit. Also I don’t do allow lists because I have too many smart devices I add and remove and it’s a pain to always remember to allow a new device.
Yep - same here. I use MAC auth on all of my SSIDs, as well as PEAP auth for the “user” SSID. The kids’ phones get dropped into a dedicated VLAN, so knowing their MAC addresses is key to that.
Yes, every time they change phones, they have to ask me to add it to the wireless for them, but I have my RADIUS database in Postgres - I can easily use Adminer to add/change/delete the relevant table entry with the correct MAC address.
Can’t you set their phones to not change MAC address on the home wifi? I know it’s a setting on Android (I have it turned off at home for myself)
Why do you feel the need to filter the Internet of teenagers? In a few years they’ll be driving if they’re not already and a few years after that voting.
Lack of self control and maturity, once they can be trusted to not be sucked into watching videos for 8 hours straight or when they are 18 they can make their own choice. Tech addiction is a real issue for kids.
