Privacy Mode
Privacy Mode makes the throttle use a Randomized MAC address instead of the hardware address when connecting to WiFi networks. This makes it harder to track your device or infer the manufacturer and model of your device. By selecting 'New' you can have a new Randomized address generated. You can view the in-use MAC address in Menu > About.
