Why does the Portable version of Wireshark show only these odd interfaces?
I just download the portable version of the program. What with these intefaces? They are oddly specific.
I just want to capture everything coming in on localhost - which interface should I pick??
(also uploading an image on this forum is broken - I'd love to show what I'm seeing but I guess you should be able to see it as well if you just download and start the portable version).

As an anti-spam measure we have to limit what new users can post. You can share a link to your image hosted elsewhere though.
You should also post the contents of the Help -> About Wireshark -> Wireshark dialog using the "Copy to Clipboard button".
It is (or really should be) the same for everyone downloading the portable version:
(more)Btw, in the mean time I was able to capture what I needed using RawCap. So it should definitely be possible what I'm trying to achieve.
Perhaps Wireshark isn't quite what I remember it to be from years ago. Like, capturing network traffic from a given physical/logical interface. I guess it can't do that anymore for some reason. RawCap can though, so my immediate problem is gone. Not sure if this is still a bug or missing feature in Wireshark.
Seems like core functionality really, but I'm no expert.
