What is the role of the app profile PAC?

The app profile PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) plays a crucial role in directing traffic effectively within the Zscaler framework. When configured, it defines how client machines should route their web traffic, determining whether it should go through the Zscaler Cloud or bypass it entirely. This allows for intelligent traffic management based on pre-defined rules, improving efficiency and security.

While other elements of Zscaler may address access levels, bandwidth monitoring, or logging user activities, the primary purpose of the PAC file centers around traffic direction. It ensures that users can access applications seamlessly while optimizing the flow of data, making it an essential component for proper network configuration and management.
