Setting up OctoSniff.

Click Filters => Community Filters. 3: Once the filter is selected make sure it says Highlight then click Apply 4: Click the Network on the left side bar, Then click Start Sniff 5: Check the Filtered Traffic if you see no data, the filter needs to be updated and the traffic will appear in All Traffic.
Important Information.
- It is important to only use game filters while actively playing the game in question.
- Having multiple filters enabled during a game may cause overlap, resulting in confusion.
- To avoid this, we recommend only leaving party chat filters on while playing a game.
- When switching to a different game, turn off the previous filter and enable the new one for the new game. By doing this, you'll be able to capture accurate data and avoid confusion
- Always begin capturing packets before joining a game or party chat. This is essential as most filters require information from the initial packets in order to function properly.
You can request a game or app filter to be made or updated via our discord.
