How to Off Proxy – What's the Best Way to Disable It? or Need Help: How to Off Proxy on My Device?[/

For how to off proxy properly, don’t just rely on Windows settings. Some browsers (looking at you, Chrome) have their own proxy rules.

Go to chrome://settings/system and disable "Use a proxy server" there too.

If you’re paranoid, use a tool like ProxyCap to monitor what’s actually using a proxy.
