# The Problem
The Windows Server 2022 Core VM we were working with had a http proxy set but the OpenShift cluster was in an environment that did not need a proxy. Using the top google hits we were unable to clear the "advproxy" settings.
```
C:\> netsh winhttp show proxy
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
Direct access (no proxy server).
C:\> netsh winhttp show advproxy
{
"Proxy": "localhost:8080",
"ProxyBypass": "*"
}
```
Using `netsh winhttp reset proxy` only cleared the proxy settings. It did NOT clear the advproxy settings.
# The solution
Create a JSON file with the settings required for `netsh winhttp set advproxy` command.
```
PS C:\Users\Administrator> New-Item proxy.json
Directory: C:\Users\Administrator
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
-a---- 11/14/2022 4:05 PM 0 proxy.json
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Set-Content .\proxy.json '{"Proxy": "", "ProxyBypass": "", "AutoconfigUrl": "", "AutoDetect": false}'
PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-Content proxy.json
{"Proxy": ""}
```
Then execute the netsh command below:
```
netsh winhttp set advproxy setting-scope=machine settings-file=proxy.json
Current WinHTTP advanced proxy settings:
{
}
```
# Thank You
I do not know the difference between the two settings, just know they both influence the system.
