Project Override Upstream Proxy Servers - Autopopulating and causing infinite proxy loop

Wayne | Last updated: Sep 24, 2020 10:12PM UTC

I'm having an issue when I try to proxy chain to Fiddler in a corporate environment. I had previously used Fiddler to handle PAC rules to authenticate to outbound web proxy server (NTLM) for external assets and direct connect rules (mostly internal assets). When I chain like this, I'm noticing that the Project Options tab --> Upstream Proxy Servers --> Override User Options automatically checks off and starts populating the list by itself of internal and external assets and sets the proxy server to 127.0.0.1:8888 (my Burp proxy listener socket). This is causing an infinite proxy loop and just shows the burp web page (http://burp). How can we get this to stop autopopulating the list? Unchecking "override" temporarily allows me to proxy successfully. And then a few seconds later it starts populating the site list and proxying doesn't work anymore.

Hi Wayne, Unchecking the override options should be persistent after each restart of Burp. It is strange that the option automatically checks off. Can you please send a screen recording of your issue to support@portswigger.net?
