Sophos XG: How to I completely disable, turn off, delete Web Proxy and Web Protection

I do not want Web Protection, or Web Proxy Categorization - which connects to outside servers (https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/126576) every 3-8 seconds to gather updated information.

Additionally, in CONFIGURE > System services > Services > Web proxy, there is only a [Restart] button, and not any [Stop] button like the other services. I want to Stop this service completely.

How can I completely (100%) Stop, disable, and remove Web Protection, Web Proxy Categorization, and Web Proxy?

    Mikrotic doesn't do all the complexity we need. pFsense/OPNsense works mostly, but not so "automagicly" with failover, and with its qwerks like the e1000 NIC req on KVM, and more detailed config steps. Anyone who wants central config then still also has to buy pfMonitor or DynFi.

    Been using UTM 14+ years. Our architecture is complex. And the cost for the UTM is very small for something that works very well. SXG is even good too... just needs to make the business stuff removable.
