# Full Walkthrough

This is a start-to-finish walk through a spoof, including the **new connectivity check** that runs after your MAC is changed.

{% hint style="info" %}
This walkthrough uses the **Recommended** mode as the example because it's the one you should run first. The Full and Light flows follow the same shape.
{% endhint %}

## Step 0 — Prep

1. Turn your **VPN on** (Warp by Cloudflare — [why?](/bygonespoofer-docs/important-guides/vpn.md)).
2. Launch **as administrator**.
3. Utilities → **Backup Hardware IDs** (first time only).

## Step 1 — Pick the mode

`Main Menu → 1. Spoofing → 1. Recommended`

The tool runs **preflight checks** (admin rights, internet, disk space, WMI service) and asks you to confirm:

```
    [+] Preflight checks passed.
    [?] Do you understand and wish to proceed? (y/n): y
```

## Step 2 — Safety backups

It creates a **system restore point** and backs up your hardware IDs automatically.

```
    [!] Creating safety backups before making changes...
    [+] System restore point created.
    [+] Hardware IDs backed up.
```

## Step 3 — Trace cleanup + Roblox reset

Event logs, temp files, and the DNS cache are cleared, then Roblox is uninstalled and its cookies/registry keys removed.

## Step 4 — MAC spoof + connectivity check ⭐ *new in v4.6*

The tool lists your network adapters (detected across a [wider range of methods](/bygonespoofer-docs/help/troubleshooting.md#adapter-not-detected) now) and spoofs the one you choose:

```
    ───────────────────────────  MAC Address Spoofer  ──────────────────────

    [+] Available Network Adapters:
            1. Ethernet
            2. Wi-Fi

    [?] Select adapter to spoof (e.g., 1, or type 'all', 'skip'): 1
    [>] Spoofing Ethernet with MAC: 02:1A:3B:4C:5D:6E
    [+] Disabling network adapter: Ethernet...
    [>] Setting MAC 021A3B4C5D6E for Ethernet...
    [+] Enabling network adapter: Ethernet...
    [+] MAC address successfully set for Ethernet.
    [✓] 1 MAC address(es) spoofed.
```

Then the **connectivity check** runs automatically:

```
    ─────────────────────────────  Connectivity Check  ─────────────────────

    [+] Waiting 10s for network adapters to stabilize before pinging google.com...
    [✓] Connectivity confirmed (google.com reachable).
```

### If the internet doesn't come back

If `google.com` doesn't respond, it **rechecks every 10 seconds for up to 40 seconds** before timing out:

```
    [!] No response from google.com. Retrying every 10s for up to 40s...
        [+] Rechecking connectivity... (10s / 40s)
        [+] Rechecking connectivity... (20s / 40s)
        [+] Rechecking connectivity... (30s / 40s)
        [+] Rechecking connectivity... (40s / 40s)
    [!] Connectivity check TIMED OUT after 40s. google.com is unreachable.
        [!] The new MAC address may be blocking your internet connection.
    [?] Restore original MAC address(es) for the spoofed adapter(s)? (y/n):
```

* Type **`y`** → the tool restores your original MAC and rechecks connectivity.
* Type **`n`** → the spoofed MAC stays; your internet may remain down until you revert (via **Reverse Spoof**) or reboot.

{% hint style="success" %}
✅ This safety net means a bad MAC can no longer silently leave you offline — you'll always be told, and offered a one-key rollback.
{% endhint %}

## Step 5 — Finish

Remaining steps run (EDID/HWID depending on mode), then Roblox is reinstalled — you can choose **Standard Roblox**, **FishStrap**, or **BloxStrap**.

```
    ─────────────────────────  All Operations Completed  ───────────────────
    [✓] Done. Reboot if you changed EDID/HWID.
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bygonespoofer.gitbook.io/bygonespoofer-docs/using-the-spoofer/walkthrough.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
