Click on File -> Preferences -> Network tab: then set to -Manual proxy configuration --> SOCKS- and check OK.
Next, close the IDE.
Reopen the IDE and check in File -> Preferences -> Network tab.
If your IDE works like mine, it will no longer be possible to go back to No Proxy.

Hi @pippo-75. Thanks for taking the time to submit an issue.

I see we have another report about this at arduino/arduino-cli#1677.

It is best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place, so I'll go ahead and close this in favor of the other.

If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread.

I will share the workaround for this issue:

1. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus if it is running.
2. Use any text editor to open the file at the following path:
   • Windows:

     C:\Users\<username>\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml
     

   • Linux:

     ~/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml
     

   • macOS:

     ~/.arduinoIDE/arduino-cli.yaml
     

   ❗ The .arduinoIDE folder may be hidden by default by your operating system.
3. Delete the lines from the file that have this format:

   network:
     proxy: http://pippo:[email protected]:1234/
     user_agent_ext: daemon

4. Save the file.
5. Start the Arduino IDE.

You should now find that "No proxy" is selected in the "Network" tab of the "Preferences" dialog.
