To begin with Wireshark, visit their official website for the download. The installation process is straightforward, but attention should be paid to the installation of command-line tools, which may require separate steps. Upon launching Wireshark, users are greeted with a selection of network interfaces as seen below. Choosing the correct interface, such as the loopback for local server debugging, is crucial for capturing relevant data.

As long as your custom service used the rpcap protocol I'd expect it to be possible. You may find this GitHub page informative, since it includes some rpcap source code and one of the main Wireshark developers appears to be a contributor there.
