What function does the Override WPAD setting serve?

The Override WPAD setting serves the function of preventing system Group Policy Objects (GPO) from overriding the proxy settings configured in Zscaler's cloud-based platform. By utilizing this setting, administrators can ensure that the Zscaler settings take precedence, thereby maintaining the intended configurations for protection and compliance without interference from local or organizational GPOs. This is particularly valuable in environments where multiple layers of policy may exist, ensuring a more consistent application of the intended configurations.

In this context, other options focus on different functionalities that do not align with the specific purpose of the Override WPAD setting. Options concerning traffic speed, custom proxies, or automatic device configuration misinterpret the primary role of this setting, which is specifically about controlling how configurations are applied in the presence of existing GPOs.
