Only if the application's code takes the proxy into account.  Otherwise no.

You need to use the ProxyParams property instead, ie:

    IdHTTP1->ProxyParams->Clear;

    if (globalOptions.UseProxy)
    {
        IdHTTP1->ProxyParams->ProxyServer = globalOptions.ProxyName;
        IdHTTP1->ProxyParams->ProxyPort = globalOptions.ProxyPort;

        if (globalOptions.UseProxyAuth)
        {
            IdHTTP1->ProxyParams->ProxyUsername =
globalOptions.ProxyUserName;
            IdHTTP1->ProxyParams->ProxyPassword =
globalOptions.ProxyPassword;
        }
    }
