Unkown host

Jack | Last updated: Apr 15, 2021 02:12PM UTC

I have setup BurpSuite as a proxy to firefox, so whenever i launch my VM (running kali) i launch burp, turn off intercept and i'm ready to go browsing. This all works fine, but the error appears whenever i pause my VM for some time, for example overnight. When i get back and resume my VM i get the unknown host error. I do not use a LAN proxy. Quick fix for me is rebooting my VM, but this is pretty time consuming and annoying since i have to restart all running processes. Can provide screenshots if needed

Thanks for your message. Is Firefox on the same VM as Burp? Do you see the same error if you use Burp's embedded browser or browse to sites via IP address? If you can send some screenshots over to support@portswigger.net that would be great.
