Need Help: How to Turn Off the Proxy Server on My Computer? or Stuck with Proxy Settings—How to Turn

Ugh, proxies can be such a pain. Quick fix: hit Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl," go to Connections > LAN settings. Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN."

Also, run "ipconfig /flushdns" in Command Prompt just in case. Windows loves holding onto old settings for no reason.
