What MAC address is transmitted to the provider (or router, I don’t know)?
So, dear essence of the question. We have a router connected to it via Wi-Fi with a MAC address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. The laptop has a virtual machine with MAC address yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy. Together they are connected via a network bridge. On a VIRTUAL machine, we surf the Internet. What MAC address is transmitted to the provider (or router, I don’t know)

- Packets are sent to the provider with the MAC address of the router itself
- Packets are sent to the router with the MAC address of the virtual machine
Read about the OSI model and how it works. Data is transmitted at the physical layer. Above it - channel. Each time a packet is transmitted between devices, the sender data is placed in the header and it turns out just the MAC address.
Answering the question - the provider sees the MAC that is on the external interface of your router.
