MAC errors

Post by Question » Thu Dec 16, 2021 7:14 am

Hi guys,

i have a problem with mac adresses. i got abuse from hetzner (my server provider).

below e-mail:

"We have detected that your server is using different MAC addresses
from those allowed by your Robot account.

Please take all necessary measures to avoid this in the future and to
solve the issue.
We also request that you send a short response to us. This response

Ok, that's a good idea. But I don't know how change this unallowed MAC address. Server provider sent me 2 unallowed MAC adresses. Probably from virtual network card (name tun0). I can see only 1 MAC adress on commend line (ifconfig).
