Automatic upstream proxy retrieval

Imed | Last updated: Mar 23, 2021 10:32AM UTC

I think it would be quite useful to have an option when setting up upstream proxy servers where you tell burp to use the system proxy configuration. Burp would then : * Find in the system configuration the path to the pac file (if defined), retrieve the file, parse it, and create upstream proxy rules depending on the visited host * Find the address of the proxy server if only one proxy server is used The user would input his proxy credentials and would be used for all proxy authentications where needed. Thank you for your great work. Kind regards.

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you tell us a bit more about how you want to use a feature like this? Are you looking for a way to make it easier to create upstream proxy rules? If so, can you give us some examples of the scenarios where you've wanted to make the creation of these rules easier?
