"How to disable proxy? Stuck and need help!"

Hey guys,

So my internet’s acting weird, and I think it’s cuz of some proxy settings. Tried googling *how to disable proxy*, but the steps aren’t working for me.

I’m on Windows 10—anyone know the *quickest* way to turn it off? Like, is it in Settings or Control Panel?

Also, why does it even get enabled randomly? Ugh.

Thanks in advance!

Or another variation:

"Can’t figure out how to disable proxy—help pls?"

Yo,

My browser keeps redirecting, and I’m pretty sure a proxy’s the culprit. Followed a few tutorials on *how to disable proxy*, but no luck.

Using Chrome btw. Do I need to mess with system settings or just the browser?

Kinda urgent—thanks y’all!

Let me know if you want it tweaked more!
Hey! Had the same issue last week. For Windows 10, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.

Under "Manual proxy setup," toggle off "Use a proxy server."

Sometimes malware enables it randomly—run a scan with Malwarebytes just in case. Hope that helps!
Ugh, proxies are the worst. If you're using Chrome, check chrome://settings/system and make sure "Use a proxy server" is off.

Also, clear your cache—sometimes that fixes weird redirects. Let us know if it works!
Yo, quick fix: Press Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl," hit Enter. Go to Connections > LAN settings.

Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN." Boom, done.

If it keeps coming back, might be a virus. Try HitmanPro for a deep scan.
Bro, same thing happened to me! If the usual *how to disable proxy* steps aren’t working, try resetting Chrome:

chrome://settings/reset

Also, check if any sketchy extensions are messing with your settings.
For Windows 10, sometimes the proxy gets enabled by crappy software. Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN settings.

Make sure "Automatically detect settings" is checked and proxy is unchecked.

If it’s still weird, try disabling VPNs or "metered connection" in network settings.
Thanks everyone! Tried the LAN settings trick and it worked.

Weird thing—my proxy was set to some random IP. Ran Malwarebytes like someone suggested and found a few nasties.

Now my browser’s back to normal. Appreciate the help!
Proxies can be sneaky! If you’ve tried the basics and it’s still on, check your registry (carefully!).

Press Win + R, type "regedit," navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.

Look for "ProxyEnable" and set its value to 0. Backup your registry first tho!
Hey, had this issue too. If you’re on Chrome, try this:

1. Open chrome://flags
2. Search for "proxy"
3. Disable any experimental proxy settings.

Sometimes updates mess with flags. Also, run ADWCleaner to nuke any hidden junk.
