How frequently does Zscaler Client Connector initiate PAC file downloads?

Zscaler Client Connector initiates PAC file downloads every 15 minutes. The default interval for downloading the PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) file is designed to balance performance and network efficiency. By checking for updates at this frequency, the client ensures that it receives the most current configurations and rules needed for secure web access while not putting excessive load on the network or servers.

This 15-minute interval allows for timely updates, which is crucial for maintaining the effectiveness of the security policies applied to web traffic. Regular updates help accommodate any changes in organizational policies or network conditions, ensuring users are always being directed through the appropriate security measures.

Other options do not align with the established timing protocols for PAC file updates, leading to less effective management of configuration changes and potentially impacting user experience or security.
