Hi Do you access your application in a web browser? If so, you can open Burp's browser (Proxy > Intercept > Open browser) and navigate to your site. Any HTTP/HTTPS traffic will be captured, and you can intercept this as you wish. You can find a walkthrough guide for this here: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/getting-started/intercepting-http-traffic

Hi If you're looking to proxy traffic from an application, the easiest way to do this would be to specify the proxy for the application to use, if there application supports this. If the application does not support this, then you would need to configure an invisible proxy to handle your non-proxy-aware client application. Documentation for configuring this can be found here: https://portswigger.net/burp/documentation/desktop/tools/proxy/invisible We also have a guide you could follow. However, the detail contained in it has not been updated for Burp's new look and feel, so the precise locations of settings and screenshots are out of date.
