Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Default filter

Hi

I am usually using wireshark remotely. This means that it will set a default filter to prevent sniffing the remote traffic it generates itself.

For me, this is not needed, as i always set filters to limit the traffic to what i need to see. If the default filter would be set only at startup, it would not be a problem, but what makes it rather irritating is that each time i want to modify the filter, it removes the filter i had set and replaces it with the default filter.

How can i disable this behavior? This is on wireshark 1.12.1

Seen it also with older versions

Cheers

Rudy
