It is by design that the proxy is always running. You cannot "disable" the running proxy per se, but rather, you disable machines using the proxy.
Keep in mind that if you were to have deployed machines or others using the proxy, and you were to stop the service, those machines wouldn't be able to obtain new packages (when you mean to stop new machines from using it).
