Note:
You may want to add a new location and name it “Home” so that you
can easily switch between home and school when you take your laptop to and from
work. If you keep the proxy settings set
when you try to use a different network you will not be able to connect to the
internet. So rather than having to un-tick
the proxy settings between different locations you will just have to select the
location you’re at from the drop down menu and click apply. That will automatically turn off the proxy
settings when you select your current location.
