### **Connecting OctoSniff To Game Consoles: Wired To PC Guide (Recommended)**

In this guide, we will provide instructions on how to utilize OctoSniff through both a VPN and a standard Wi-Fi adapter. While the wired method may be slightly more complex, it is **recommended** as it does not require an ARP spoofing attack.

#### **OctoSniff V4 Interface (Network Adapter Selection)**

* If using a VPN, select your **VPN Adapter** in the interface.

***

#### **Requirements**

* A laptop or desktop with a **Wi-Fi card** or **2 LAN ports** (e.g., USB to LAN and 1 default LAN port).
* 1 LAN cable if using Wi-Fi card, or 2 LAN cables if using LAN to LAN.
* A **VPN** if using a VPN. (Your VPN must use a protocol method that is **not** WireGuard. If your VPN is using WireGuard, you won't be able to get IPs; simply switch the VPN's protocol via settings.)

#### **Wi-Fi 2 LAN: Using Wi-Fi on PC ONLY (Game Console is wired to PC)**

Follow these steps to configure your setup:

1. **Connect Your PC and Game Console:**
   * Connect your **PC** to your **Game Console** using an **Ethernet cable (RJ-45)**.
   * Your **PC will act as a router** in this case.
2. **Enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on Your Wireless Adapter:**
   * Open **Network Connections** (Shortcut: Press **Windows key + R** and enter `ncpa.cpl`).
   * Right-click your **Wireless adapter** and click **Properties**.
   * Navigate to the **Sharing** tab.
   * Check **Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection**.
   * If there are only two network connections listed, it will automatically share the connection. If prompted to select an adapter, choose your **Ethernet adapter**, then click **OK**.
3. **Configure Your Console's Internet Connection:**
   * When prompted, select **Custom** for the connection setup. **Auto** does not work reliably.
   * When asked if you want **Wireless or Wired**, choose **Wired**.
   * The rest can be set to **Auto**, but ensure you don’t select Auto until you choose the **Wired** option.
4. **Test the Connection:**
   * If everything worked, your console should be connected to the internet and you should be ready to go!

#### **LAN to LAN: Using a Wired Connection from Your Router to PC, Then from PC to Console**

Follow these steps to set up your wired connection:

1. **Connect Your Devices:**
   * Connect your **PC** to your **router** (via Ethernet cable, or through a switch connected to the router).
   * Connect your **Game Console** to your **PC** via an Ethernet cable (using a **USB Ethernet adapter** unless your PC has two LAN ports).
2. **Enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on Your LAN Adapter:**
   * Open **Network Connections** (Shortcut: Press **Windows key + R** and enter `ncpa.cpl`).
   * Right-click your **LAN/Ethernet adapter** and click **Properties**.
   * Go to the **Sharing** tab.
   * Check **Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection**.
   * You will likely be using a **USB Ethernet adapter** to connect your console to your PC. Identify it by looking for the word **USB** below the network name.
   * Rename the adapter to something you'll remember, as you'll use this in future steps.
3. **Configure Your Console's Internet Connection:**
   * When prompted, select **Custom** for the connection setup (again, **Auto** does not work well here).
   * When asked for **Wireless or Wired**, select **Wired**.
   * You can leave the remaining options as **Auto**, but don’t select Auto until you’ve confirmed **Wired** is chosen.
4. **Test the Connection:**
   * If everything is configured correctly, your console should now be online and ready to go!
