"It's installed but won't connect" — Burp Suite proxy setup for Genymotion

If you mean the Android device is installed but traffic is not reaching Burp, set the Android global proxy to Burp’s host IP and listening port. For Genymotion Desktop, make sure ADB is connected automatically, and for SaaS use gmsaas adbconnect first.

  • Set Burp to listen on 8080 from all interfaces.
  • Export the CA certificate from Burp in DER format and install it on the device.
  • Then run:

  adb shell settings put global http_proxy <burp_proxy_ip>:<burp_listening_port>

  • To clear it later:

  adb shell settings put global http_proxy :0

If you are using Genymotion Desktop and Burp runs on the same host, the proxy can also be reached from the device with 10.0.3.2:8080 when using VirtualBox. The proxy guide also notes that some apps ignore the global proxy and may need a third-party redirect app like Proxy Client.
