Default and alternate PAC file addresses

PAC file addresses can be located on the Web > General page and on the General tab of a policy. In both locations, a default and alternate address is listed.

  • Default PAC file address: the PAC file is retrieved over port 8082 by default, or 8087 for HTTPS. Browsing with this PAC file is performed via port 8081.
  • Alternate PAC file addresses: the PAC file is retrieved over port 80 by default, or 443 for HTTPS. Web browsing is also performed via ports 80/443. Useful for locations where non-standard ports are locked down.

Both default and alternate PAC files can be retrieved via HTTP, or over a secure HTTPS connection. Select the HTTP or HTTPS URL as required. See Accessing PAC files over HTTPS.
