IP Rotate

Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists an extension called IP Rotate, version 2.0a by David Yesland, last updated 10 September 2025, which routes all requests to a configured target domain through AWS API Gateway endpoints in multiple regions so each request carries a different source IP. The extension is described as useful for bypassing rate limiting, brute force protection, and WAF rules that block on IP address.

What you should know: Any control that relies on blocking a single source IP - rate limits, brute force lockouts, WAF rules - can be routed around by an attacker who spreads requests across AWS regional gateways, and this tool does it automatically from inside Burp.
