Documenting an issue just before it is fixed: Npcap 0.93 and earlier forcibly disables Large Send Offloading and Checksum Offloading (and possibly TCP Chimney Offloading). This is because these features of Windows and certain NICs cause Npcap to see a different view of outgoing packets than what really passes to the network. This effect is documented by Microsoft and elsewhere.

The problem with this is that some users have a need to keep this feature enabled, but it is forcibly disabled on all interfaces where Npcap is enabled, even if those interfaces are not actively sniffing. We intend, therefore, to revert the commit b4ac6c5 that introduced offload disabling. We will document this in the Npcap Users' Guide and allow users to disable these features on their own network adapters as necessary.
