Then you need to contact your work's IT department for assistance with this issue. They are the ones that control this company-owned device.


As I mentioned, the proxy settings are something that they configured via an automatic policy. You can temporarily disable them, but they will return as you noted.

Typically the only time you need to use proxies is because they are required when you connect to either a corporate or educational network.


If these setting are being automatically enabled, after you disable them, could mean that your Mac is being managed by a corporate or educational institution's IT department. Is this the case here?
