Seems pretty straight forward to me. Or have I missed / misunderstood something ?

That was my understanding, although I suspect threadbare's question really means, 'how are the majority of users, with little technical understanding, going to make any use of this?'
The answer, I think, is that most of them won't, and many of those who try to read up on it will get intimidated by it. The first time I changed my proxy I screwed my eyes shut and held my breath before clicking 'OK'.
Now I've got over that hurdle I'm happy to muck about with settings like this, but I can well understand why many people would not want to.
