When setting an HTTP/HTTPS proxy using "Manual proxy configuration" (under configuration General -> Network Connections) - the proxy becomes active. 
However, if you open the preferences again and select "Direct connection to the internet", the proxy will still be used.
The proxy will be disabled only after you completely delete the values from the proxy address fields and restart Eclipse.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Define an HTTP proxy (I used a free proxy to demonstrate, e.g. 67.69.254.245)
2. Use the update manager to connect to an update site, the HTTP requests are clearly coming from the proxy
3. Remove the proxy in the configuration select "Direct connection to the internet"
4. Repeat step 2, requests still coming from the proxy
5. Remove the proxy values from the configuration, restart Eclipse
6. Repeat step 2, requests are coming directly from your machine
