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


Question

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 :p 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.

    • Hello, I am wondering if this will go through an appeal process, or if the ruling is final? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Hello, I think it also depends upon what sorts of software you develop. My employer makes software that does rely on operating system version-specific functionality, and that is typical and normal behavior for our industry. While we do provide support for older versions of operating systems, it is only for a certain amount of time. If you still want to use our software after that, it becomes a custom support package, which isn't cheap. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Ok Mr lawyer, what violation or damage is done to requiere a regulation? I get your point but you need more valid points what and how regulations are done. Just google it. Hence me saying Mr Lawyer. I didn't learn new things just by saying big random words, I actually acknowledged and read on what they meant and work. Let's not forget there are national and there are international laws and also violations. For something to have a regulation effect, there must be some sort of damage. Sorry to tell you but annoyance isn't considered consumer damage. Apple changed to USB-C because of the EU and it caused a chain reaction to other countries but those other countries didn't change the laws. Apple saw a business change that would hit them in their production, so something that started 'national' [for simplicity sake let's say the EU is a nation] made a big splash. You might be thinking of something else and not a 'simple' regulation.

    • Hello, Just to be clear, Contoso, LitWare and Fabrikam are generic names used by Microsoft in documentation as well as in things like demos (check out the first screenshot in the linked article), and not the names of the actual companies or products involved. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
