What is "disable offline mode" and "disable gradle offline" mode and this Setting in Android Studio 4.1

Question

I am on Android 4.1 version and behind the proxy. I have already setup Proxy settings and the sdk download works fine. But when I am creating a new Project it is throwing error :

Could not GET 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/4.1.0/gradle-4.1.0.pom'. Received status code 407 from server: Proxy Authentication Required

Disable Gradle 'offline mode' and sync project

On searching Gradle Offline in the settings , I find below snapshot :

I simply clicked the url and then error comes "Disable Offline Mode"

What is the difference between the two and where these can be found in the latest Android Studio. I remember finding it easily using search in settings in older Android Studio versions but not this.
