Use a private Wi-Fi address on Mac
Using a private Wi-Fi address helps reduce tracking of your Mac by Wi-Fi network operators. Tracking can occur when your address always appears the same to other devices and networks.
See this Apple Support article to learn more about using private Wi-Fi addresses.
Go to the System Settings app
on your Mac.Click Wi-Fi
in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)Click the Details button.
Note: If you want to use a private Wi-Fi address for a network other than the one you’re currently connected to, click
next to the name of that network, then click Network Settings.Click the Private Wi-Fi address pop-up menu, then choose an option:
Off: Private Wi-Fi address is turned off. This Mac can be identified and tracked on this network and across other networks.
Fixed: A fixed private address allows this network to track this Mac, but helps reduce tracking across other networks.
Rotating: A rotating private address reduces tracking on this network and across other networks.
Click OK.
If your Mac is a managed computer, you may not be able to change this setting. Contact a system administrator in the school or organisation that provided you with the computer for more information.
