Changing system proxy from terminal

Problem:
For some strange reason (definately user related), epiphany-browser does not have a network section in preferences. I needed to remove system wide proxy that was preventing me from browsing as I was now on a different network.

Solution:
Change proxy via command line. I ran the following command on the terminal.

shell> gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none'
