What type of traffic do Forwarding Profile PAC files specifically manage?

Forwarding Profile PAC files are specifically designed to manage traffic directed toward or away from the Client Connector. These PAC (Proxy Auto-Configuration) files determine how web traffic is handled and what proxy settings are utilized for different types of requests. The primary function of these files is to facilitate the correct routing of traffic so that it can be efficiently processed according to the organization’s defined policies.

In the context of Zscaler, the Client Connector acts as a bridge between the user's device and the Zscaler cloud, ensuring that the traffic is sent through the appropriate channels for security and compliance measures. The PAC file allows the Client Connector to determine when to send traffic directly to the Zscaler service versus when to route it through a different path, based on the specific configurations set in the forwarding profile.

The other choices do not accurately capture the specific function of the Forwarding Profile PAC files. While unencrypted web traffic can be part of what these files manage, it is too narrow and does not encompass the full scope of their functionality. Traffic routed through Zscaler only and all application traffic are more general terms that do not reflect the primary purpose of managing inbound and outbound traffic specifically related to the Client Connector interaction with Zscaler's system.
