"Stuck with Proxy Settings – How Do I Turn Off Proxy Server?"
Ugh, this proxy thing is driving me nuts! I accidentally turned it on (no idea how lol) and now half the internet won’t load.
how do i turn off proxy server?? I’ve tried googling but the steps are all over the place. Some say go to settings, others say command prompt… like, which one is it??
If anyone’s dealt with this before, pls help a bro out. My wifi’s fine, but sites keep timing out.
P.S. Using Windows 10 if that helps. Also, not a tech genius so keep it simple 😅
Thanks in advance!
omg i feel your pain. proxies are the worst when you don’t need em.
quick fix: press Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl", hit Enter. Go to Connections > LAN settings.
Uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN" and hit OK.
if ur still stuck, try resetting your browser settings too. sometimes that sneaky proxy hides there.
Bro, I was in the same boat. Here’s how I fixed it:
1. Open Control Panel > Internet Options.
2. Go to Connections tab > LAN settings.
3. Uncheck the proxy box and hit OK.
Also, run a malware scan. Some viruses mess with proxy settings. Malwarebytes is free and works great.
Let me know if it works!
Ugh, proxies can be such a headache. Here’s a simple way to disable proxy server:
- Open Chrome (or whatever browser you use).
- Go to Settings > System > Open proxy settings.
- Toggle off the proxy under Manual setup.
If that doesn’t help, try resetting your network settings. Sometimes Windows gets weird with updates.
Dude, I feel you. Had this exact problem last month.
Try this:
Press Win + I > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Turn off everything under Manual proxy setup.
If sites still won’t load, flush your DNS. Open Command Prompt as admin and type:
ipconfig /flushdns
Works like a charm for me.
Yo, thanks everyone for the tips! Tried the LAN settings trick and it worked like magic.
Weirdly, my browser was still acting up, so I reset it too. Now everything’s loading fine.
Didn’t know malware could mess with proxies tho—gonna run a scan just in case.
Appreciate the help! Y’all saved me hours of frustration.
Hey! Here’s a foolproof way to turn off proxy server:
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.
Make sure "Automatically detect settings" is ON and "Use a proxy server" is OFF.
If that doesn’t fix it, your ISP might be forcing a proxy. Try contacting them.
Also, CCleaner can help reset settings if things get messy.
