Hello,
I recently bought a computer running Linux with Squid (filter proxy) installed on it. However, it blocks quite a few sites that I would like to access (for example: the gaming sites, I see you coming :D). Well, I know (roughly) how to uninstall a program on Ubuntu, but it's bothering me because it's not visible anywhere, and I'm not very familiar with the terminal... Does anyone know what to do?
I need to:
- Find Squid
- Uninstall it (without losing my connection)
I have administrative rights on my computer :)
Thanks in advance!
Configuration: Linux (ubuntu) / Chromium

Good evening,
To remove the proxy without any issues, it's best to first reconfigure your connection(s) so that it no longer goes through the proxy; you should be able to do this easily through the graphical interface of network manager (you can access it via the icon in the notification area).
Then, to remove the proxy, you need to, in the command line:
- Log in as root (superuser/administrator) using the command: sudo su
- Uninstall Squid and its configuration files using the command: apt-get purge squid
Best regards.
