Seems like a good excuse to switch to using the "any" interface that @pcdummy had mentioned,

Somehow running in "online" mode is completely broken for me on Mac OS. I've been developing just with offline mode. It seems that a bunch of listeners get started but no packets are parsed at all.

Ok this is a weird issue. I cannot seem to capture live traffic if I build the OS X client myself. If i download the ones built by circle ci, live capturing works.

[jochumdev]

Here on Linux i have to run the albiondata-client with sudo, can you try that on your mac please?

[regner]

For me I have to run with sudo on Mac but I would get an actual permissions error if I didn't. He doesn't seem to, so that confuses me.

[oxisto]

Using sudo makes no difference on my machine, as it is configured in a way that it allows my normal user to capture traffic (there is an option in the Wireshark installer to do that) - it gives your user permissions to use the bpf devices - otherwise you need sudo.

I'll do some additional digging into this once i'm back from my vacation, what exactly the issue is here. It seems that all locally build (go build) builds of the client cannot capture live that (with or without sudo). All the builds from circle-ci can.

@regner How are you building the client on osx? Maybe it's a really weird issue on my macbook air. I'll do some testing on my macbook pro once i'm back home
