I can't get rid of a proxy configured in Ubuntu 16.04.

I have tried the solutions suggested here, but did not resolved my situation:

How to permanently disable http_proxy

How to disable proxy in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

How to remove proxy permanently from ubuntu>

The command env | grep proxy return nothing.

The network setting GUI is configured to None and Applied system wide.

I have removed the line of the proxy from /etc/apt/apt.conf, now is empty. Already rebooted the system (note: shut-down then power on, not just pressed reboot).

I have removed git and installed again but no luck.

If try to clone a repository from git, i still get errors because of the system is trying to connect to the proxy (i have not copied the github url and proxy ip in clear):

git clone https://github.com/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.git

Cloning into 'xxxxxxx'...
fatal: unabke to access 'https://github.com/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.git/': Failed to connect to XXX.XX.XXX.XXX port 8080: Connection timed out.

I i run apt command, for example apt-get update it does not try to connect to the proxy, and work properly.

How can i remove this proxy? Thank you

The command git config -l returned:

http.proxy=http://@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/
http.proxyauthmethod=basic
http.sslverify=false

So it's a git specific proxy. Resolved by the command:

git config --global --unset http.proxy

Now git config -l return:

http.proxyauthmethod=basic
http.sslverify=false

And git clone works properly.
