How to permanently disable http_proxy

Solution 1:

Make sure that those variables are not declared in any of the below files:

  • ~/.bashrc
  • /etc/bash.bashrc
  • /etc/environment

If they are, it'd be better if you remove those lines.

However, if you're unable to find them, then put the unset lines you've mentioned in your ~/.bashrc file.

Solution 2:

Be sure to change the method dropdown from "manual" to "none". This will erase everything - you may need to restart the machine after doing this.
