Need help: How to disconnect from proxy server quickly? or What’s the easiest way to disconnect from

Ugh, proxies can be such a pain.

If the usual settings don’t work, try resetting your network:

Open Command Prompt as admin and type:
netsh winsock reset

Then restart. Fixes weird proxy hangs sometimes.

For Mac, "sudo networksetup -setwebproxystate off" in Terminal does the trick.
