[Help] How do I disable Proxy settings in Chrome if they are set by the admin (Group Policy) for Windows

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

In Firefox its possible to tell it to ignore the system proxy level, Is there a way to do that for Chrome? My company uses a Proxy (poorly) for internal DNS to access internal websites.

I am the system administrator. I have implemented these proxy settings as I am not currently able to do it via Internal DNS. I need to find a work around for chrome as there are a few external pages that are not working correctly with our Proxy that only work in Chrome and do not work properly in Firefox (we we can get around the Proxy on)

You (as a veteran) do know that circumventing your workplace's proxy is a non-starter for discussion here?

I understand that completely. I am also the system administrator and have implemented the particular Group Policy I will edit the post with a bit more information.

Kinda figured it was something like that. Which is why I didn't comment like Nik L did. 16k posts, and a vet, lol.

 

@BudMan <-- He will know.

 

Also, wouldn't your Admin account be immune to GP? Since there is usually a difference, Admin has a bit more free range than non-Admins do. At least at my work, there is a difference between my account, and my bosses.

we are not using the proxy to filter content so we do not want to be immune to it. we are using it in place of DNS entries (security through obscurity) essentially if someone plugs a device into our network that is not on the proxy, it cannot without some configuration see our internal pages

you may be able to try one of the Chrome proxy extensions

I've used this before for proxy switching in chrome (for facebook back in highschool lol)

Brandon that appears to do the trick. I have it set to a secondary internal Proxy that will allow me to use Chrome instead of Firefox. w00t. thanks.

why don't you not proxy certain addresses/ips in your exceptions so it wouldn't matter what browser.

this would essentially disable your proxy settings for that host you are trying to connect to.
