Removing Proxy Settings From Your Computer
There is no longer any need to configure a proxy server on the
residences network. This should make setting up your internet
connection easier, more reliable and increase the compatibility
with applications.
If you configured a YSJ proxy in the past, your connection will
continue to work as they are still available to use. However should
you wish to remove them this guide is to help you do so.
It is your personal preference if you choose to use a proxy, for
most people removing them will give the best functionality and
reliability. However some software applications may require
one. Since every application is different please consult your help
documentation.
