It is often leaving my LAN, because I am often on the road with my laptop. And it is not the lan interface important, but the wifi interface.
But this is not the main point: I can change the MAC manually when I must or want. And my person is not the goal, I am thinking of the people, which want to be anonymous and rely on macchanger (and its settings during install). However, if the developers or maintainers think, everything is all right and the user can change the mac manually when he wants it, and when he forgot to do it, then he just simply had hard luck, who cares, then we can close this discussion! For myself the solution is "make manually on the road" (and maybe, if I am lazy, I will create a script for me), but this solution is not usable for everybody. Short for long: I thought, I should mention this issue as it might be interesting. If not, sorry for the noise. Best Hans Am Mittwoch, 19.
