I would like to change the MAC address of the interface/nas as a whole. I have network restrictions where I live and I would like to be able to get around them. I’m able to change it on regular Linux but I can’t figure it out here. Apologies if this is the wrong thread.

Does this imply you mean SCALE?
You didn't specify a version of TrueNAS and gave no details of your hardware...

I have not tested this, but it seems you may get the desired result with ifconfig:
It may be necessary to re-run that on every startup, so perhaps a postinit script once you confirm it does what you want...

Beat me to it. I think your code will likely work for Scale(Debian) and Core (FreeBSD) but I haven't tested it either. I spoofed MACS at the gateway to avoid having to call my ISP's "customer service" and record a modem change.
Sorry my bad, I meant regular Linux as in Debian and Ubuntu and what they are based from. It’s just a simple laptop. Can specify hardware if you need once I get to the laptop, but it’s capable of changing it since I’ve done it before on Linux and windows. Using truenas core
