Dears, I have iOS app that need to be tested with VPN connection, after i configure my iPhone with burp and make sure that burp intercepts the traffic i setup the VPN connection on my macOS using OpenVPN then burp suite can't intercept app's traffic unless i turn off the VPN then i can intercept normally How i can solve this problem ?

Hi Mohamed,

VPNs operate on a different layer of the network stack than Burp does so it should not be affecting your interception of traffic from the app.

How is the VPN itself configured? Full tunnel mode? Or is it a split tunnel?

Can you please share some diagnostics (Help > Diagnostics) and screenshots covering replication steps as well as the Event log on the Dashboard when you send a request with the VPN enabled? You can reach us at support@portswigger.net
