Register to https://beta.octosniff.net\r\n2. Head over to https://justgaming.io & purchase 500 Points (minimum).\r\n3. Once you purchased, give it a few moments then check your website inbox.\r\n4.

However if you blacklist **\"1234\"** and then blacklist **\"12345\" \"1234\"** will become De-blacklisted.\r\n* You can only blacklist 1 PSN and 1 XBOX live account per OctoSniff account. Blacklist is also permanent as long as you don't change gamertags.\r\n* for xbox do not include any special characters in your gamertag when blacklisting. (ie #, or any other symbols)\r\n* You need to register to both JustGaming & OctoSniff, as they are two completely separated websites. JustGaming is strictly to purchase/process the payment.

We will guide you on how to properly configure the filtered games tab for optimal usage.\r\n\r\nTo properly set up the filtered games tab, please follow these steps:\r\n1. Navigate to the following path **\"settings>interface\"** and put a checkmark in the box next to **\"other info\"**.\r\n2. Navigate to the following path **\"settings>filtering\"** Enter your devices IPV4 Address (Xbox, PlayStation, phone etc) in the **\"Console IP Filter\"** field. If you are sniffing on PC leave this field empty.\r\n3. Navigate to the following path **\"settings>filtering\"** filter ports 80,53, and 443 by typing them in the \"Port\" field then click add.\r\n4. If the game or application has a corresponding game filter option, please enable it.\r\n5. Once these steps are completed, begin capturing packets and join a game session.\r\n\r\n![Enabling the other tab](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eaf9407d3b8c9800/other-info_s1ulnr.png)\r\n\r\n![Filter your device and ports.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eaf9407d3b8c9800/filter-ports_1qyopv.png)\r\n---\r\n\r\n||| 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.\r\n\r\n**Tips**\r\n1. 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.\r\n2. If you are using software via wireless setup, filters may not work as intended due to packet loss caused by ARP spoofing. In this case, the IP will appear in the \"Other Info\" tab.\r\n3. If there is no \"Game Filter\" available for your specific game or if the filter is out of date, the IP will appear in the \"Other Info\" tab.\r\n* For dedicated games simply look for the ISP with high traffic. (The DDOS protection icon may also show locked home connections won't have this)\r\n* For P2P games simply look at the ISP/Traffic common home ISP'S with high traffic means its players.\r\n---\r\n\r\n**STILL CONFUSED?
