Chrome/Chromium/FireFox will not work with Burp Suite

Nagel, | Last updated: May 20, 2019 09:10PM UTC

Hello, I am running Kali Linux and am trying to use the Burp Version 1.7.36. I have imported the Burp certificate into each browser (Chrome/Chromium/FireFox). None of these browsers will work with Burp. Burp intercepts request and response, but the browsers refuse to display any content. Instead they just give errors. FireFox: Secure Connection Failed Chrome and Chromium: This site can’t provide a secure connection In FireFox, I have the proxy configured natively through FireFox's settings. In Chrome and Chromium I am using the SwitchySharp Proxy extension. I also run Chrome/Chromium from the command line with the "--ignore-certificate-errors" flag. None of these resolves this errors. What am I missing? Thanks, Dave

Dave, it may be that the certificate hasn't installed correctly, have you tried removing all instances of the certificate, downloading a clean instance and reinstalling? Could you email us (support@portswigger.net) a screenshot of the certificate installed in Firefox's Certificate Manager > Authorities tab?

When intercept is turned on, Burp Suite should be intercepting the request. The request should appear in the Proxy "Intercept" tab. Are you able to see the http request in this tab? We have two tutorial pages to help you use Burp Proxy within our Support Center, have you checked these out? - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/1783118-getting-started-with-burp-proxy - https://support.portswigger.net/customer/portal/articles/1783119-using-burp-proxy For new users we also recommend that you follow all of our tutorial articles to gain a better understanding of Burp Suite - https://support.portswigger.net/.
