Help! How do I turn off proxy settings on my computer? or How do I turn off proxy settings? Can't see - SecureOrbit99 - 13-06-2024
"Help! How do I turn off proxy settings on my computer?"
Hey guys, I’m kinda stuck here. My internet’s acting weird, and I think it’s cuz of some proxy thingy.
Tried googling *how do i turn off proxy settings* but the guides are all over the place. Anyone got a simple fix?
I’m on Windows 10 btw. Also, does it matter if I’m using Chrome or Edge?
Thanks in advance! 🙏

"How do I turn off proxy settings? Can't seem to figure it out!"
Ugh, this is driving me nuts. Every time I try to browse, it’s like my connection’s being rerouted or something.
I keep searching *how do i turn off proxy settings* but none of the steps work?? Am I missing something?
Pls help a noob out. 😅
(Using Windows 11 if that helps.)

"Stuck with proxy settings—how do I turn them off?"
Yo, so my wifi’s fine but my browser’s acting up. Pretty sure it’s the proxy settings.
But like… *how do i turn off proxy settings* without breaking anything? Lol.
Any quick tips? Mac user here btw.
Thx! ✌️

"How do I turn off proxy settings in Chrome?"
Alright, this is weird. Chrome’s giving me the "proxy server isn’t responding" error.
I’ve looked up *how do i turn off proxy settings* but the options in Chrome’s settings are confusing af.
Anyone else dealt with this? Help a buddy out!
(Windows or Chrome solutions both work.)
Cheers! 🍻

Hey! If you're on Windows 10, here's a quick fix for how do i turn off proxy settings:
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Under "Manual proxy setup," toggle off "Use a proxy server."
Chrome and Edge both use system settings, so this should work for both. If it’s still weird, try resetting your browser settings too.
Hope that helps!

Ugh, proxies are the worst. For Windows 11, it’s pretty similar:
Settings > Network & internet > Proxy
Turn off anything under "Manual proxy setup."
Also, check if some sketchy app messed with your settings. Malwarebytes can scan for that kinda stuff.
Let us know if it works!

Mac user here! To turn off proxy settings, go to:
System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
Uncheck ALL the proxy boxes.
Sometimes VPNs or school/work networks force proxies, so double-check if you’re on one.

Bro, if Chrome’s giving you proxy errors, try this:
chrome://settings/system
Under "Open proxy settings," it’ll take you to the system menu. Turn it off there.
Also, clear your cache. Sometimes that fixes weird connection issues.

Pro tip: If the usual steps don’t work, your ISP or network admin might’ve set a proxy.
Try running "ipconfig /flushdns" in Command Prompt. Sounds techy but it’s easy—just copy-paste.
Works like a charm sometimes!

Thanks everyone! Tried the Windows 10 steps and it worked!
Weirdly, my antivirus had a "secure browsing" thing that was forcing a proxy. Turned that off too.
Y’all are lifesavers! 🙌

Edge user? Go to edge://settings/system and disable "Use a proxy server."
If that doesn’t help, your antivirus might be interfering. Norton and McAfee love messing with proxies for some reason.

For Chrome’s "proxy server isn’t responding" error, try this:
1. Open Chrome flags (chrome://flags)
2. Search "proxy"
3. Disable any experimental proxy stuff.
Might not be the fix, but worth a shot!

If you’re still stuck, try this tool: Proxy Switcher & Manager.
It lets you toggle proxies super easily. Free version works fine for basic stuff.
Also, check if your router’s forcing a proxy. Weird, but it happens.
