Enable/disable proxy using a batch file in Windows

Enable or Disable Proxy Using a Batch File in Windows

Sometimes, you might need to quickly turn your system proxy ON or OFF, for example, when switching between a corporate network, VPN, or your home connection.

Instead of navigating through Internet Options each time, you can do it instantly using a batch file.

Open notepad and add the following text

reg add "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

then save the file with the .bat as the extension,like proxy.bat
then you're done,

Now just double click the batch file,the proxy will be disabled.

In the code, 0 is used to disable the proxy and you can use 1 to enable the proxy again.

You can create two shortcuts on your desktop:

• “Enable Proxy”

• “Disable Proxy”

This makes it super easy to switch between proxy modes with just one click.

If the changes don’t apply immediately, try restarting your browser or disconnecting/reconnecting to the internet.

PS: Before running the batch file, it is always safe to take the backup of the registry.
