After upgrading to macOS 15 Sequoia, you might notice that your Mac constantly
changes its MAC address, affecting your ability to connect to your VPN. This behavior is

use a fixed MAC address, which can resolve issues with VPN connectivity, such as DHCP
reservations failing due to MAC address changes.

How to Set a Fixed MAC Address in macOS 15 (Sequoia):

1. Open System Settings:


Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen.
Select System Settings from the dropdown menu.
2. Go to Wi-Fi Settings:
In the left sidebar, click Wi-Fi.
Select the Wi-Fi network you usually connect to for VPN access.
3. Configure the MAC Address:
Scroll down to Network Settings for the selected Wi-Fi network.
Look for the option labeled Private Wi-Fi Address.
Toggle this option off to use your device’s original, fixed MAC address instead of
a randomized one.
Your network will now always connect using the same MAC address, helping
maintain your VPN connection stability.
4. Re-establish VPN Tracker Connection:
Once you've set a fixed MAC address, ensure that your VPN’s DHCP reservation
or configuration aligns with this MAC address.

This process will restore the VPN Tracker’s ability to connect reliably using a consistent
MAC address, resolving issues caused by macOS 15 Sequoia’s default MAC address
randomization feature.
