"Need help - how do i disable proxy on my computer?"

Hey guys,

My internet’s acting weird and I think it’s cuz of some proxy settings.

Tried googling but all the guides are confusing af.

Can someone explain how do i disable proxy completely? Like step by step?

Using Windows 10 btw.

Thanks!

"Can someone explain how do i disable proxy settings? Getting connection issues."

Yo,

Every site keeps timing out and I’m pretty sure it’s proxy-related.

How do i disable proxy? I checked the settings but no luck.

Maybe I’m missing something?

Help pls!

Suddenly my net’s super slow and some sites won’t load.

Think a proxy’s messing it up.

"Stuck with proxy settings - how do i disable proxy completely?"

Ugh, this is driving me nuts.

Somehow a proxy got enabled and now nothing works.

How do i disable proxy for good?

On a Mac btw, if that matters.

Thx in advance!
Hey! If you're on Windows 10, here's how to disable proxy settings:

Open Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.

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

Also, make sure "Automatically detect settings" is ON.

Sometimes malware messes with proxies, so run a scan with Malwarebytes just in case.

Hope that helps!
yo i had the same issue last week!

go to control panel > internet options > connections tab > LAN settings.

uncheck "use a proxy server" and hit ok.

also, check if any VPNs are running—they can fake proxy settings too.

if ur still stuck, try resetting network settings (google how do i disable proxy windows 10 reset).
For Mac users:

Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies.

Uncheck ALL proxy options (HTTP, HTTPS, etc.).

Click OK and restart your browser.

If sites still won’t load, flush DNS by opening Terminal and typing "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache."

Let me know if it works!
Bro, same thing happened to me!

Quick fix: press Win + R, type "inetcpl.cpl," hit Enter.

Go to Connections > LAN settings.

Make sure "Automatically detect settings" is checked and proxy server is UNCHECKED.

If that doesn’t work, your ISP might be forcing a proxy—call them.
If you’re on Windows 11:

Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.

Turn off everything under "Manual proxy setup."

Also, try disabling any third-party firewall/antivirus—they sometimes override settings.

Still issues? Run "netsh winsock reset" in Command Prompt (admin).
Ugh, proxies are the worst.

For a nuclear option, reset your entire network:

Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.

This wipes all proxies/VPNs.

Just be warned—you’ll need to reconnect to Wi-Fi after.

Works 99% of the time tho.
Thanks everyone! Tried the LAN settings trick and it worked.

Weird thing tho—my browser still acts up sometimes.

Could it be a leftover setting somewhere?

Also, how do i disable proxy for specific apps? Chrome seems to ignore system settings.

Appreciate the help!
