No Proxies specifies that you have a direct connection to the Internet.
Manual Configuration allows you to customize proxy settings for your system. Enter the HTTP or FTP location

Browsers usually do not require proxy servers to interact with the network services of external sources. However,
in some network configurations where a firewall blocks the connection between the browser software and a
remote server, interaction with a proxy might be required.
A firewall protects information in internal computer networks from external access, and in doing so, it can limit
the ability to exchange information. To overcome this limitation, browser software can interact with proxy
software. A proxy server interacts with the firewall and acts as a conduit, providing a specific connection for each
network service protocol. If you are running browser software on an internal network from behind a firewall,
you need the name and associated port number for the server running proxy software for each network service.
