Hi everyone, I've requested a static IP from my ISP a long time ago and I figured out that my ISP binds my IP based on a MAC address which is connected to my WAN port.
I was thinking about switching from Debian Linux to OpenBSD on my router, but I can't figure out how to change my MAC address. I've tried the the following configurations for my /etc/hostname.em0 (I'm testing this in VirtualBox): # inet autoconf lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 # # lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 inet autoconf # # inet autoconf lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 # In all of those configurations, my lladdr gets changed to 00:11:22:33:44:55 but the inet line is missing from ifconfig which means that my network isn't working. I have found this old (2012) blog post: https://andrewmemory.wordpress.com/2012/12/06/changing-mac-address-on-openbsd/ Which suggested: "Linux has /etc/network/interfaces, and OpenBSD has /etc/hostname.if. I just changed my /etc/hostname.vr1 to: dhcp lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 and I was requesting an IP address using my new MAC address" If I do that my inet line is present and my network/internet is working, but my lladdr line isn't changed. Any suggestions? Best regards, Tomaz
