Can I Trace a MAC Address?

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

➡️ A MAC address can easily be traced for as far as it travels — which isn’t far enough to be useful.

MAC addresses are unique identifiers for each network interface on your device. While they do identify the device, when used in networking they travel only as far as the next device, like your router. That limits the usefulness of MAC addresses for any kind of device location or tracing.
