Question:

• How do I disable Internet Proxy on Android devices?

Background:

• Trustwave recommends that mobile devices should not use a proxy server for WiFi network connections, unless the proxy is required on a trusted organizational network (such as a company or school network).

1. Open the Settings app.

4. Tap Modify network.
5. Next to "Advanced options," tap the Down Arrow.
