Hi Abhishek Thanks for your message. Have you checked that nothing else is running on port 8080?

Hi Harshal Thanks for your message. You can try using any free ports. E.g. 8081. Do ensure than you change the settings in both your browser and Burp Suite.

Have you tried changing the port PG?

Not able to select "running" option within the proxy listener. After clicking on that checkbox, it is not showing "checked".

Liam, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Nov 16, 2017 09:24AM UTC

Which port are you using? Have you checked that nothing else is running on the same port?

Burp User | Last updated: Nov 17, 2017 01:21PM UTC

Hi Shivam, what system are you using?

Burp User | Last updated: Feb 25, 2018 09:13PM UTC

How i checked that nothing else is running on port 8080? Please explained me

Burp User | Last updated: Mar 09, 2018 07:26PM UTC

might sound stupid but make sure you don't have another burp window open

SecEng, have you tried running Burp Suite Professional with elevated permissions? Port 443 is a privileged port as it's reserved for the http protocol over TLS/SSL.

Burp User | Last updated: Oct 23, 2018 08:02AM UTC

it's because your port 8080 is already in use. so first go to your Linux terminal and enter the command netstat -plnt so you can find the 8080 port is in use kill that with process id with command kill (pid whatever shows there) then check again in Burpsuite

Conrad thank you so much I feel stupid for not looking now it is working fine!

Burp User | Last updated: Jul 10, 2019 09:42AM UTC

may be you are running xampp server and in xampp server you are running any service in 8080 port cross check once

Burp User | Last updated: Sep 24, 2019 02:23PM UTC

I am trying to run listener on 127.0.0.1:443 but Burp is not allowing me to check the box for running the listener. There is no other service running on 443 on my local system.
