Network and firewall settings for self-hosted scanning machines - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger published guidance stating that self-hosted scanning machines must have their network and firewall settings configured to communicate with a Cloud instance of Burp Suite DAST. The instructions apply only to Cloud instances, and the page points readers to separate settings for a self-hosted instance of Burp Suite DAST.
Key Takeaway: Self-hosted scanners that cannot reach the Cloud instance will not scan, so the firewall rules between your scanning machines and PortSwigger's cloud are a direct dependency for DAST coverage.
