catching EVERY packet going to a website

Hello,

according to Wireshark information:

Wireshark can capture traffic from many different network media types, including Ethernet, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, USB, and more. The specific media types supported may be limited by several factors, including your hardware and operating system. An overview of the supported media types can be found at

so I have some questions:

  1. Can I capture packets from another network? I tried and failed but is there a way to do that?
  2. Given a website IP address (let's assume we have only one IP address), Can I catch every packet that sends to that website?
  3. I read about ssh-ing to a VM which in terms can capture packets (e.g https://serverfault.com/questions/362529/how-can-i-sniff-the-traffic-of-remote-machine-with-wireshark)
  4. Does the questions above depend on the server which runs a website? (e.g: GitHub pages, amazon hosts, Wix, etc.)
