Show HN: I got unlimited airport WiFi access
2 by xkcd1963 | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Most airports offer wifi in following variants: #1 unlimited free wifi access #2 time-limited free wifi e.g. 2 hours, after this one has to pay #3 pay upfront for wifi I happen to be in a #2 airport and figured that by changing my MAC address I should be able to circumvent the artificial limitation by the airport through knowing my initial MAC address. On my macbook though the commands ```sudo ifconfig en1 ether 00:e2:e3:e4:e5:e6``` don't seem to work after the year 2018 (thank you apple). After some search though I was able to change the MAC address https://ift.tt/IAEm40w and enjoy now unlimited wifi while waiting for the airplane.
