Standard and policy-specific PAC files

Your account has two locations that list PAC file URLs:

  • Standard (account-wide) PAC file URL (found on the Web > General page). This URL is an account-wide PAC file URL. This fetches a policy-specific PAC file on connections from recognized IP addresses, and the standard, global PAC file from unrecognized addresses.
  • Policy-specific PAC file URL (found on the General tab of a policy). This URL includes a policy identifier, which ensures that the PAC file specific to the policy is always retrieved. This can be useful to ensure that remote users always get the PAC file for a particular policy.

See the sections below for further information, and guidance on when to use each option.
