How do I change the MAC address on my MacBook Pro?

To prevent tracking. But I've read online that there are commands to change them one-time in the software.

Whoever wrote that was wrong. Or you misunderstood. The only way to completely change the MAC address would be to get a new network card.

If you're worried about being tracked, get rid of any cellular devices you have.

Keep Away from Performing that:

What you are asking about is what hackers do — So, stay away from being a hacker, and have respect for everyone out there. Just saying.

The MAC address is assigned when the device is being built; there is no way to change it.

Out of curiosity: why would you want or need to change it? It is a unique identifier.

MAC addresses are hard-coded into the network card. You can't change them.

I'm sorry but what you have is not a technology problem but a family problem.

Best of luck.
