This is my case:

I'm trying DVWA in a Docker container localhost:4280.

I want to test this webapp with Burp Suite (which listen to port 8080) and Microsoft Edge browser. I'm on Windows 11

The way to set the proxy on Windows is Network & internet > Proxy > Use a proxy server and set to localhost 8080.

So far so good, but I see all the traffic in Burp Suite EXCEPT the webapp I need.

  1. What could be the problem? What am I missing or doing wrong?

  2. Is there a way to only send the webapp traffic to Burp Suite, and avoid everything else?

Typically these days with burp, I use the in-built browser, whcih avoids any problems with windows settings, and failing that I'd use firefox which has it's own proxy settings apart from the system.

If you have to use a browser that uses the host's settings, then one thing to watch for is the setting that avoids using the proxy for localhost (exact location depends on the version of windows you use, I believe).

  • Agree, I usually use chromium built-in in Burp Suite. But because I'm learning about networks, it seemed like a good challenge to me to trying this kind of things. Could you give me more detail about that setting you've mentioned? I'm on Windows 11 Commented Jun 8, 2024 at 18:06
