Is there a disadvantage to randomizing your address?

Randomizing your MAC address can make it harder to track down which ohone or PC inside your home is misbehaving if you need to troubleshoot a network problem on your LAN, (e.g. your kid is hogging all the bandwidth playing Fortnite).

I am blocking and have disabled IPv6 but foresee a day where that’ll have to be pemitted on the ole pfSense router.

Got some things to learn about v6 too.
