What file does network settings touch when setting proxy?

I've set automatic proxy automatic configuration file in Gnome3, after I uninstalled Gnome3 and switch to i3-wm, the proxy setting just works. But when I want to update the setting, I can't find the configure file from nowhere.
I digged in my .config directory for long, but nothing was found. Some people say such a file does not exist, I just want to know how do those desktop environments make it?

Thanks.

PS: Even if I would quit this, the former proxy is too old to use, yet Chrome would like to use system proxy setting, so Chrome can't use the proxy any more. OK, this is another question.....

The unknown as we know. There are known unknowns. There are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know things that we do not know.
But there are still unknown unknowns. The ones we don't know we don't know.

Well, if it was NetworkManager that you were using, it has its configs under /etc/NetworkManager. /etc/ is generally where system config stuff lives.

EDIT: grammar
