About MAC address filtering and some other... I'm tired of reading blatant nonsense, magical and religious rituals and all such mechanical assemblies.
Here is a sample of the log file where OpenSim records my MAC address when logging in:
----------------------------------------------------
2023-01-06 00:34:15,354 INFO [LLOGIN SERVICE]: Login request for Pagane Succubus at last using viewer 6.6.3.67470, channel Firestorm-Releasex64, IP 213.91.211.29, Mac 07b8bc77a881f8cd94e2671a8d604dc7, Id0 8722138d190a35f5ff85cea65ae3bce1, Possible LibOMVGridProxy: False

Hmmmmmm strange numbers….
And here is what my computer says about this same MAC address:
-----------------------------------------------------
Link speed (Receive/Transmit): 1000/1000 (Mbps)
Link-local IPv6 address: fe80::cbbe:bf15:d2a:63b%11
IPv4 address: 192.168.11.232
IPv4 DNS servers: 192.168.11.3 (Unencrypted)
Primary DNS suffix: lan
Manufacturer: Intel
Description: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (5) I219-LM
Driver version: 12.19.0.10
Physical address (MAC): 18-60-24-98-80-49
------------------------------------------------------
Do I need to explain why ALL the writings on the matter are pure nonsense?!
The fact that one of the developers used the three-letter combination Mac, in no case means that this is the MAC address of the client's network card!!! MAC is not the same as Mac! Check for yourself.
