Here's a quick guide on how to swiftly disable a proxy on Windows.

How to disable proxy on Windows 7

To access the proxy settings menu:

Done. Once you confirm these changes, your internet traffic will bypass the proxy and go directly through your real IP. This method can be used to disable the proxy when its functions are not required anymore, ensuring that all traffic, including that from network applications and browsers, will no longer pass through the proxy server.
