"Struggling with Proxy Settings – How to Delete Proxy Properly?"
Hey guys,
I’m kinda stuck here. My internet’s acting weird, and I think it’s cuz of some old proxy settings. I need to figure out *how to delete proxy* stuff but no clue where to start.
Tried googling but all the guides are too technical. Anyone got simple steps? Like, do I gotta mess with network settings or something?
Also, does it differ for Windows/Mac? Using Win 10 rn.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
(Ps. Sorry if this has been asked before, I’m in a hurry lol)

Hey! I had the same issue last week. For Windows 10, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Under "Manual proxy setup," just toggle off "Use a proxy server." That’s the easiest way to delete proxy settings.
For Mac, it’s in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies. Uncheck any proxy boxes there.
Hope that helps!

Ugh, proxies can be such a pain. If the basic settings don’t work, try resetting your network.
On Win 10, open Command Prompt as admin and type:
`netsh winsock reset`
Then restart. Sometimes old settings linger and this clears them.
Also, check out NirSoft’s "ProxyHelper" tool—it’s great for digging deep into proxy configs.

Bro, same struggle! If you’re in a hurry, just hit Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl," and go to Connections > LAN settings.
Uncheck "Use a proxy server" and hit OK. Quick fix for how to delete proxy stuff without diving into settings.
Mac users, you’ll find it in Safari settings too under Preferences > Advanced > Proxies.

Proxies can mess things up bad. If you’re still stuck, try this:
1. Press Win + I > Network & Internet > Proxy.
2. Scroll down to "Automatically detect settings" and turn it ON.
3. Toggle off manual proxy.
Sometimes Windows auto-detection fixes it. If not, maybe your ISP is forcing a proxy?

Yo, had this issue too! If you’re on Win 10, sometimes browsers override system settings. Check Chrome (or whatever you use):
Settings > System > Open proxy settings.
From there, disable anything proxy-related. Also, clear your browser cache—old settings might be stuck there.

If you’re dealing with a stubborn proxy, try CCleaner. It’s not just for junk files—it can clean up old network settings too.
Just run it, go to Registry > Scan for Issues, and fix anything related to "proxy." Works like a charm for how to delete proxy leftovers.

For a super clean slate, reset your network stack:
Open CMD as admin and run:
`netsh int ip reset`
`netsh winsock reset`
Then reboot. This nukes all network configs, including proxies. Just be sure to re-enter any custom settings after.

Wow, thanks everyone! Didn’t expect so many replies so fast.
Tried the inetcpl.cpl trick and it worked! My internet’s back to normal. Still weird how the proxy got stuck tho.
Gonna save the CMD commands for next time—seems handy. Appreciate the help! 🙌
