Enable "Connections" tab in IE browser to change the proxy

Issue:
Due to corporate policies or accidentally sometimes in IE browser "Connections" tab would be disabled.

If you enable the policy, users are prevented from seeing and changing connection and proxy settings.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, users can see and change these settings.

When you set this policy, you do not need to set the following policies for the Content tab, because this policy removes the Connections tab from the interface:

"Disable Internet Connection Wizard"
"Disable changing connection settings"
"Prevent changing proxy settings"
"Disable changing Automatic Configuration settings"

Path: IE browser Tools->Internet Options->Connections

Solution:
Navigate to "Registry Editor" window and follow the path to change values.

Registry Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry Path Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel
Value Name ConnectionsTab
Value Type REG_DWORD
Enabled Value 1
Disabled Value 0
