#Detect current proxy settings mac software

You would already know that most long time Mac users think that antivirus software is mostly a placebo, and not particularly effective in THAT role either, because of the performance hit just from using the stuff. None are foolproof, and can give you a false sense of security.Д«ut, that subject has been worked to death on the various Mac forums. That's one of the reasons I stopped using all antivirus apps. If you use Sophos, you would notice that you already have a noticeable performance hit if you leave that in background scan. Better to keep it simple, eh?Д¬ouldn't tell you much about those services that you listed, and the performance effects when using a VPN with all of those going at once. Leave the proxy settings off (No Proxy), unless you have a proxy server set up (and you would know this if you have a proxy server, as you would be restricted from any internet connection if you don't use the proxy server settings)Дon't try to configure your own connection for settings that don't exist, as that can leave your connection in a possible no-connect situation when your system tries to use settings for non-existent services. If you don't have one set up, then don't give your system an opportunity to lose your connection.

As you don't use a proxy server, nor connect to a network that uses proxy server, then Auto Detect or No Proxy would have exactly the same result.ДЄ proxy server is local to your network.
