Enter your Burp Proxy listener port in the Port field (by default, 8080). Enter your Burp Proxy listener address in the Address field (by default, 127.0.0.1). Burp uses the first rule in the table that matches the destination web server. You can define rules that specify different proxy settings for different destination hosts. We would suggest reading the VPN documentation to see if it is possible to exempt local traffic from the VPN, so that. Make sure that Automatically detect settings and Use setup script are Off. These settings control whether Burp sends outgoing requests to an upstream proxy server, rather than sending them directly to the destination web server. Sometimes you might need to read more about upstream proxy if you have an additional proxy on your local machine, however in my case it was not required. This depends on the type of VPN and how it works, but most likely the VPN is routing all traffic through the VPN connection, so the requests that your browser is sending to the local proxy are actually being sent over the VPN.
