On my first attempt with tails, my home router failed to provide an IP address via DHCP because TAILS randomoizedrandomized the MAC. In my further attempts I diableddisabled the MAC randomization feature, wondering: Will anybody on the other side of my router see the MAC address (unless some software puts it inside some data packet)? So what is the use of MAC randomization in TAILS?

(I see that it would make sense when being used not at home)

Who could read the MAC when using TAILS at home?
