Hi everyone, I’m facing a persistent issue where the LAN settings on my Windows machine keep reverting to 'Use a proxy server' even after I manually uncheck it.
Could this be caused by a VPN running in the background?

I did find a potentially useful solution to this issue linked below, but I’m wondering if it’s truly the best approach to take. Could anyone with experience in similar situations provide some insight or confirm whether this fix is reliable? Much appreciated !

Yup, lots of VPNs will have a component listening on 127.0.0.1 and some port (this is the loopback) so a proxy will be required for it to function
