Forward Request to Burp Suite

How to forward request to Burp Suite from browser, if browser proxy settings are disabled due to Group Policy. There is no Connection tab in the IE to set proxy. Please help.

Is it possible for you to ask your network administrator for permission to alter the browser proxy settings?

We recommend you use a computer that does not have restrictive settings. In many organisations, testers have two systems: one that has all the normal corporate policies, and a separate testing system that they have administrative control over. This is the recommended solution, and the testing system could be a virtual machine. If that's not possible there are a couple of other approaches, but they require more tampering and you may encounter other issues. 1) Use a browser that has its own proxy settings, like Firefox. If you can't install Firefox, you may still be able to use Firefox Portable Edition. 2) Use a reg file to override the locked proxy settings.
