Wireshark no longer finds vboxnet0 interface

[Wes]

vboxnet0 was available on the list of interfaces in previous sessions, now it is missing even when a VirtualBox VM is running. Refreshing with F5 has no effect.

ifconfig has vboxnet0 listed.

I think a system update or update to VirtualBox 5.2.18 may have changed something that caused this.

Nevermind, this is not a bug. The interface is not visible unless Host-Only Networking is added to the VM
