Installing an Xbox IP puller (often referred to as a "sniffer" or "resolver") typically involves setting up software on a PC that monitors network traffic from your console. Tools like LANC Remastered or Angry IP Scanner are commonly used for this purpose.

Most tools categorized as "IP pullers" fall into three main groups:

The most reliable way to pull real-time IPs is through a PC bridged to your Xbox, allowing you to intercept peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic from party chats or certain games.
