Turn off squid and squidguard

Hi sorry if this has already been answered I can not seem to find how to disable squid and squid guard,

I would like to be able to turn it off to see if it resolves the high pings from the server under heavy load

Squid: Services:proxy and uncheck enable, save it + apply
squidquard: services:proxy filter and uncheck enable, save it + apply ;)

Or just go to "Services" and stop the service - this "should" work, too.

Hi thanks for you suggestions,

I think I am a bit stupid today,

If I highlight over services the drop down menu gives me the option to choose squid proxy,

I can not see any way to disable it

Please see attached screenshot

Sorry i gave you wrong info, i looked twice at squidguard, but from status:services you have alternative option to stop those

thanks a million that worked,

When i disable the squid i loose internet on the connected computers do i need to change some routing to allow it without the proxy

only firewall rules on those ingress interfaces(usually lan)
pass tcp/udp any any any 80 usually for http, remember top-to-down and first rule wins
