Using Default PAC Files to Forward Traffic to Internet & SaaS

The Zscaler service hosts four non-editable default PAC files, recommended.pac, proxy.pac, mobile_proxy.pac, and kerberos.pac, which are all configured to automatically forward all browser traffic to the nearest Internet & SaaS Public Service Edge.

The service recommends that you deploy the recommended.pac file to your organization's devices. If necessary, your organization can use more than one PAC file. For example, you can use one PAC file for mobile devices and another for all other devices. Use the Kerberos PAC file if you are deploying Kerberos authentication. You can also use a custom PAC file to forward web traffic to the Zscaler service.

  1. Go to Infrastructure > Internet & SaaS > Traffic Forwarding > Hosted PAC Files.
  2. Copy the Hosted URL of the default PAC file.
  3. Distribute the PAC file URL to your users.
