Glad this feature is built into most modern operating systems these days. For MacOS (Sequoia+) you can just forget the network and reconnect to get a new MAC address [1]. Android's documentation for if it decides to generate a new address per connection is a little vague [2], but I'm guessing forgetting and reconnecting works as well, you may also need to flip the "Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization" bit in developer settings. On Windows, flipping the "Random hardware address" switch seems to cause it to generate a new seed/address for me.

Per [1], this only works once per 24 hours on new iOS/macOS versions, and only once per two weeks on older ones though. | ||||||||

Yeah I had to flip the developer setting toggle, but worked flawlessly for my flight (American Airlines has a watch an ad for 20 minutes of free internet that only works once per MAC) | ||||||||

I have a generic Android phone from many years ago where the manufacturer didn't even bother to program the WiFi NVRAM, so every time you load and unload the driver, you get a new randomly generated MAC address. Interesting that that has become a feature these days. | ||||||||

I think the rotating address is limited to 3, right? The script here generates one at random. |
