How to disable proxy server in Firefox

If you can’t connect to the internet, it is possible that you are using a proxy server. This guide will show you how to disable proxy settings in Firefox.

A proxy server is an intermediary between your computer and the internet. It is often used to hide your real location and helps you access websites that would otherwise be blocked. However, proxies do not offer the same privacy protections as a VPN. If you are using ExpressVPN, there is no need to run a proxy on top of the VPN connection.

Disable proxies on Windows

1. In the Firefox browser, click in the top-right corner. Select Settings.
2. In the General section, scroll down to Proxy Settings. Select Configure proxy.
3. Select either No proxy or Auto-detect proxy settings for this network.
4. Click OK.
