How to spoof MAC address and hostname automatically at boot on macOS
Operating system and version
macOS 11.3 Big Sur
Description
I use 1Password WLAN sync (as you showed in one of your videos) between my MacBook Air and my Android smartphone. The problem is that I also use MAC spoofing on my laptop as you explained in your privacy guide and this brokes WLAN syncing everytime a new MAC address is set on my computer.
Yes. I experienced that too. My solution to this problem was to set up Wlan-Sync again and remember the current name of my MacBook (in my case Yahya). Then everytime I needed to sync my passwords I renamend my MacBook via System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name to "Yahya". I must admit that it is not quite a comfortable way to sync my passwords, but it seems to work. ...nevertheless I would be very pleased to have a better opertunity to do so. Looking forward to other suggestions.

This only happens with Android. I use the same method on my iPad but it kept syncing flawlessly using WLAN. I don't know why is that but it probably is linked to the way Android and iOS work.
