The MAC address should belong to the vpn, not you. You could run a vm on your pc with nothing but a lean browser (I like Brave). Don’t use the browser for anything else. Have a fresh email with a different domain. hange uour writing style, possibly by translating to Russian then French and back to English.
That is a GREAT idea! Never heard of it before.
I used to be up on this kind of thing but as I recall the MAC address isn’t passed along through routers; it’s broadcast locally only. So unless a web site were to run some sort of script on your device to retrieve it, it won’t be visible to them. Is this no longer the case?
That's what I do in extreme cases.
I run Oracle's VirtualBox (free publicly available software). I created a virtual machine with Windows XP as the operating system. One would need a Windows XP installation disk (also available after some searching) and license code (also available after searching).
On the virtual machine, I run the Firefox browser (Internet Explorer won't run on XP because of outdated certificates that Firefox doesn't care about).
The virtual machine can either route through the host computer's network (and use the host's virus scanning and VPN) or the VM can set up its own IP protocols and bypass the host's IP connections.
Save a backup of the virtual hard disk so that if a virus infects the virtual machine, the disk file can be deleted and a new one can be created from the backup copy.
