How to turn off the proxy settings on chrome browser through selenium webdriver?

When I navigate to my url on chrome, I get The system cannot find the file specified." . I thought it might be due to automatic proxy settings on chrome. I want to explicitly turn off the proxy setting before starting chrome browser in selenium. I tried below, it isn't working. Can anyone help me

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
dc.setCapability("chrome.setProxyByServer", false);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",sChromeDriverPath);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

No errors are thrown at any point of time but URL doesn't open up

You need to pass the options object to the chrome driver when you initialize it. If you use a specific capability then pass it to the chromeDriver(), so that chrome knows what to start with. Also there is no JSON object as setProxyByServer in chrome, instead use noProxy JSON object. Check this out. Here's how - 

Proxy proxy=startProxy();
proxy.setProxyType(ProxyType.MANUAL); 
proxy.setNoProxy("");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
DesiredCapabilities dc = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
dc.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",sChromeDriverPath);
dc.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(dc);

More info about chrome capabilities. Hope it helps.
