What is the frequency for downloading the PAC file in Zscaler Client Connector?

The Zscaler Client Connector is designed to provide an efficient and seamless experience for users by automatically downloading the PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) file at regular intervals. The frequency for downloading the PAC file is set to every 15 minutes. This periodic update ensures that users have the latest proxy settings and configurations, which is crucial for maintaining connectivity and optimizing security and performance.

This frequency strikes a balance between ensuring timely updates and not overwhelming network resources with overly frequent downloads. By downloading the PAC file every 15 minutes, the Zscaler Client Connector ensures users are connected to the appropriate Zscaler resources, while also being responsive to changes in the network environment, such as policy updates or changes in user location. This 15-minute interval is a standard practice to support dynamic environments where user needs and security postures may change frequently.
