For proxy-aware applications, what is a requirement when using Tunnel with Local Proxy configuration?

Proxy-aware applications require an understanding of the Zscaler Client Connector when using Tunnel with Local Proxy configuration. The Zscaler Client Connector enables secure internet access and ensures that applications can properly communicate through the Zscaler platform. When an application is proxy-aware, it means that it can intelligently route its traffic through the configured proxy settings offered by Zscaler, thereby optimizing its operations and enhancing security.

When applications understand how to utilize the Zscaler Client Connector, they can effectively funnel traffic through the Zscaler service and make full use of the features such as policy enforcement, threat protection, and visibility provided by the Zscaler platform. This integration ensures that data is properly secured in transit to and from the application's environment, aligning with corporate security expectations.

In contrast, the other options imply requirements that are not necessary for proper operation with Zscaler’s Local Proxy configuration. For instance, integrating with third-party VPN solutions is not a requirement, as Zscaler provides its own secure tunnel for traffic. Local servers for processing are also not necessary, since Zscaler's cloud infrastructure handles the traffic processing. Manual proxy settings are traditionally used in different configurations but are not a requirement in the context of proxy-aware applications utilizing the Zscaler Client
