Connections> LAN Settings> Proxy server
The box next to "Use a proxy server for your LAN" is not checked.

Unless you are using a proxy, that box would not be checked.

You really only use a proxy if you want to be anonymous or bypass censoring. And even then you're really not any safer than before unless you have control of said proxy.
Is my computer less secure not using a proxy server?
