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 HTTP proxy server?
HTTP proxy server is a proxy allowing to work on the Internet with HTTP and (not always) FTP protocols. It can carry out caching of information downloaded from the Internet. Now HTTP proxy servers are the most widespread. Their support (ability to use them) is included into many programs: browsers, download managers etc. However, their support is not realized at a level of an operating system – in order to use them, you should configure all programs, which should use proxies, in an appropriate way. HTTP proxy servers have several anonymity levels.
