Probably best start by telling us the IP address of your computer.

Why is it detecting a proxy server? Untick all the boxes in LAN settings.

The OP's computer is behind a router so it will not have his public IP address. Instead, it will be some sort of local IP - which is of no use to anyone trying to be malicious.
