Hey Tidal,

The error you're running into when trying to use TCP packets *usually* indicates that you need to install WinPcap. We've got a bit of documentation on this, which you can find here:

It takes a bit of configuring to get UDP packets working as well. We've got a knowledge base article that can help out on this front as well:

If you should find yourself with any other questions - please don't hesitate to let us know!

Best wishes,
