How is Zscaler Client Connector treated during the migration of PAC files?

In the context of migrating PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) files, Zscaler Client Connector is treated as a proxy in the browser configuration. This means that it functions to intercept web traffic and direct it based on rules defined within the PAC file.

When organizations move from traditional proxy setups to a cloud-based architecture with Zscaler, the Client Connector serves as a bridge, allowing user devices to seamlessly integrate with Zscaler's cloud security. This is particularly beneficial as it simplifies the migration process by enabling configurations to remain consistent, ensuring that traffic is routed appropriately according to the existing policies dictated by the PAC file.

By utilizing the Client Connector in this manner, users can maintain their existing browsing experiences without disruption while benefitting from Zscaler’s enhanced security features. This approach alleviates the need for extensive reconfiguration and ensures that network traffic is handled effectively as organizations transition to a more agile, cloud-oriented framework.
