How to run different burp instances on a single machine. for example i want to run scan on different url using the headless mode and on different ports. java -jar -Xmx2g -Djava.awt.headless=true "C:\Program Files\BurpSuitePro\burpsuite_pro.jar" --config-file=C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\burpscan\3\1236_9999.json --project-file=project.burp -c config.xml 1236_9999.json file is the project config file which have local port as 1236 and upstream proxy as 127.0.0.1:9999 so basically i want to run different instances of burp running on different ports on the machine. Please any info would be of great help. Thank You...

The number of Burp instances will depend on the computational power and memory of the machine. If you have a 16g machine you could try running 6 instances and assessing how well they work. You should just be able to launch additional instances from the command line. You’ll need to configure the port settings in proxy listeners and save this as a user config file. In the command you copied you’ll need to use —user-config-file. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
