This week I've learned that "per-connection randomized MAC" – while being great for privacy – can be an issue for login-based WiFi networks. First of all it requires you to login again every time you reconnect, but you may also get issues with let's say hotel WiFis that limit the number of devices on one account 😅

I think this is mostly an issue caused by the captive portal implementation.
