No. Proxy browser configuration is a one-time event - unless you change to a new browser or to a new proxy server.
Proxyway allows you to configure your browser proxy settings automatically.
When you have finished using the proxy servers, remember to turn the proxy server settings off. If you do not, all further internet transactions will be filtered through the proxy server. Unnecessary use of the proxy server may slow down your internet access.

Question of the Day
• What is browser cache?
Browser cache (also known as Temporary Internet files) stores the content of all the web pages that you have visited (including pictures, animation, movies, other downloads, etc) during a session. This speeds up the displaying of pages you frequently visit as a web browser can open them from your hard disk instead of downloading them from the web.
