How do I unset a proxy command?
I have an interactive shell where I want to use the command unset PROXY to disable the proxy.
However, it seems that there are some conditions under which unset is not interpreted as unsetting the proxy, and I don't know how to get around them.bashprofile And it doesn't work either. The problem is that your unset is being run in a subshell, which is separate from the main shell. The main shell has its own environment and it's using the environment you set with export to find the proxy setting.
You need to use export to source the environment from the main shell. Drwxr-xr-x 1 user 4096 Mar 30 13:21 . rw-r-- 1 user 3998 Mar 30 13:21 .bashhistory It would better to use a function instead of export and source, but I don't know how to do that with unset.

Net.exe use myproxy NET use myservermyusername. Now when you are going to access myservermyusername, you will have to provide proxy settings. Run cmd.exe as Administrator.
Run %SystemRoot%system32NET HELP PROXY (or some other similar path) to find out which proxy is setup. In windows 7 you should see "MyProxy" which is the default configuration for most proxy's.
Run %SystemRoot%system32NET SET "Name of proxy" Proxy=someURL. For example, I set my proxies to "" and got them to work in IE8.
