Title: *"How do I turn off proxy settings on my computer? Stuck here!"*
Hey everyone,
I’m kinda stuck trying to figure out how do i turn off proxy settings on my PC. It’s messing with my internet, and I can’t load anything properly.
I checked the settings but got lost in all the options lol. Anyone know the quickest way to disable it? Using Windows 10 btw.
Also, does turning it off affect anything else? Just wanna make sure I don’t break something else in the process.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
(PS: If there’s a Mac fix too, my friend’s having the same issue.)

Hey! If you're wondering how do i turn off proxy settings on Windows 10, here's the quick fix:
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Under "Manual proxy setup," toggle off "Use a proxy server."
For Mac, it's in System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies. Uncheck any active proxies.
No, turning it off won’t break anything—it’ll just revert to direct internet. Hope that helps!

omg i had this same issue last week!
how do i turn off proxy settings was my exact google search lol.
On Win 10, press Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl," go to Connections > LAN settings, and uncheck "Use a proxy server."
For Mac, your friend can try Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies and disable there.
Btw, if it’s still buggy, restart your PC after. Works like magic sometimes.

Proxies can be a pain! Here’s a detailed guide:
1. Open Settings (Win + I).
2. Network & Internet > Proxy.
3. Disable everything under "Manual proxy setup."
For Mac:
1. Apple menu > System Preferences > Network.
2. Select your connection > Advanced > Proxies.
3. Uncheck all proxy options.
If you’re still stuck, tools like CCleaner can reset network settings safely.

Short answer:
Win 10: Settings > Network > Proxy > Off.
Mac: Network > Advanced > Proxies > Off.
Done.
No, it won’t affect anything else unless you’re in a workplace with specific rules.

Dude, proxies are the worst. Here’s how do i turn off proxy settings fast:
Hit Win + R, type "ms-settings:network-proxy," and slam that toggle off.
For Mac, your friend can use Spotlight (Cmd + Space), type "Network," and follow the same steps as above.
If it’s still glitchy, try resetting your browser settings too. Chrome loves to override system proxies.

Thanks everyone! I finally got it working by toggling off the proxy in Settings > Network.
Weirdly, my browser was still acting up until I cleared the cache. For anyone else stuck, try that too!
My Mac friend says the Advanced > Proxies trick worked for them. Appreciate the help! 🙌
(Should I run a malware scan just in case, though? Saw that suggestion.)

If you’re still struggling with how do i turn off proxy settings, try this:
Open Command Prompt as admin and type:
`netsh winhttp reset proxy`
This resets it system-wide. Works on Win 10/11.
For Mac, Terminal command:
`networksetup -setwebproxystate Wi-Fi off`
(Replace "Wi-Fi" with your connection name.)

Wait, before you disable it—are you sure it’s not a malware proxy?
Sometimes adware changes proxy settings. Run a scan with Malwarebytes just in case.
To turn it off, though: Win 10 > Settings > Proxy > Toggle off. Mac > Network > Advanced > Proxies > Uncheck.
Stay safe!
