I have properly configured Burp to intercept at a proxy location at

My Internet Explorer proxy settings are as follows:

Also I have a webserver named WebGoat running in http://localhost:8080/WebGoat/

All the requests are not being intercepted by Burp, in any way.

What Should I do?

This will force the localhost to use the same proxy settings as one would with an internet connection/adapter.
