Reverse Proxy Detector
Summary: PortSwigger's BApp Store lists a Burp Suite extension called Reverse Proxy Detector, authored by Nicolas Gregoire at version 0.4, which detects reverse proxy servers. The listing was last updated on 13 February 2017 and carries an overall system impact rating of Low, with PortSwigger noting that extensions are written by third-party users and come with no warranty of quality or usefulness.
Bottom line: The tool that identifies reverse proxies in front of your web applications has sat unupdated since February 2017, so any proxy behavior it was built to recognize reflects a decade-old landscape.
