Subject: how do i turn off proxy? my internet’s acting weird
hey guys,
so my browser keeps redirecting me and sites won’t load properly. i think it’s cuz of some proxy settings but idk how to turn it off.
tried googling but the steps are confusing af. anyone know how do i turn off proxy on windows 10? or maybe in chrome?
pls help, this is driving me nuts.

hi all,
my network’s acting up—keeps saying "proxy server not responding." i don’t even remember enabling one?
how do i turn off proxy completely? win 11 edge user here.
any tips appreciated!

hey! had the same issue last week. to turn off proxy in windows 10, go to settings > network & internet > proxy. under manual proxy setup, toggle "use a proxy server" to off.
also, check chrome settings (chrome://settings/system) and disable "use a proxy server" there too. hope that helps!

yo, this happened to me once after some sketchy software install. try resetting your browser settings to default. in chrome, type chrome://settings/reset and hit "restore settings."
for how do i turn off proxy in windows, hit win + r, type inetcpl.cpl, go to connections > lan settings, and uncheck proxy server.

if your internet’s acting weird, it might not just be the proxy. run a malware scan with malwarebytes—sometimes adware messes with proxy settings without you knowing.
to disable proxy in firefox, go to options > general > network settings and choose "no proxy."

ugh, proxies are the worst. in edge, click the 3 dots > settings > system > open proxy settings. then just turn off anything that says proxy.
also, try flushing dns (open cmd as admin and type "ipconfig /flushdns"). fixed it for me last time.

hey op, if you’re on win 11, press win + i > network & internet > proxy. disable everything under manual setup.
for edge, check edge://settings/system and make sure "use a proxy server" is off. lmk if you’re still stuck!

sounds like malware. had this exact issue—some crap extension was forcing a proxy. uninstall suspicious extensions first.
for how do i turn off proxy in firefox, go to about:preferences > network settings and select "no proxy."

had this exact problem last month. in windows, go to settings > network & internet > proxy and turn off manual proxy.
for chrome, type chrome://flags, search for "proxy," and disable any experimental stuff. worked for me!

yo thanks everyone! turned off the proxy in windows settings like you said, and it’s working now.
weird thing tho—some sites are still slow. could it be a dns thing? how do i check that?

try this: open cmd as admin and type "netsh winsock reset." then reboot. sometimes winsock corruption causes proxy-like issues.
also, double-check chrome’s proxy settings at chrome://settings/system. disable anything proxy-related.

if sites won’t load, it could be dns too. try changing dns to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
for how do i turn off proxy in windows, hit win + r, type "inetcpl.cpl," and under connections > lan settings, uncheck proxy server.
