“Force TLS” automatically upgrades all web requests to use HTTPS. This option is used to forward traffic through another proxy. The “Request handling” tab allows you to configure a host and port number to where all requests will be redirected to the specified location regardless of what resource they requested. Other proxies, custom certificates, and TLS protocols The “Binding” tab allows you to set the IP address and port number used by the proxy. Please note that you need permission from the owner of the device to legally be able to do this and any users should be aware that you’re monitoring their network usage and will be able to see their passwords etc. Remember that you’ll have to install the Burp certificate on those devices to monitor their HTTPS traffic. Tip: Using IP addresses other than the loopback can allow you to configure other devices to proxy their traffic through your Burp instance.
Selecting “All interfaces” will make the proxy visible on all of the IP addresses your computer has. Alternatively, you can bind it to another IP address your computer has via the drop-down box, although it won’t explain what physical interface this relates to and whether other devices will be able to access it. You should use a port number should be between 105 as port numbers below 1000 can require extra permissions.īinding to the loopback address means that the proxy is only available to the local computer. When editing the proxy listener, the “Binding” tab allows you to configure which port number and which interface it binds to in the binding tab.
Select a listener then click edit or add a new one. Tip: To be operational the proxy listener must have the “running” checkbox on the left ticked. In the “Proxy Listeners” section you can edit the current proxy listener, by selecting a listener and clicking “Edit”, or set up a second one by clicking “Add”. To configure the proxy settings, you want to go to the “Options” sub-tab in the “Proxy” tab.
