No proxy	Connect directly without a proxy.
Auto-detect proxy settings	Use the system proxy settings or an automatically detected proxy auto-config (PAC) file. Automatic proxy configuration URL: Manually specify the location of the PAC file. If the PAC file encoding is UTF-8 with BOM, it will not work. Make sure that the encoding is UTF-8 without BOM. Clear passwords: Clear the passwords for the specified proxy.
