Upload Custom PAC Files to Secure Access

To bypass additional internal domains on the secure web gateway (SWG), you can create custom PAC files and upload them to Secure Access. Once uploaded to Secure Access, your PAC files are available on Secure Access for you to use in your environment.

Secure Access supports IP-based domains. However, you must enter the IP in the browser’s address bar as the domain portion of the URL. For example, https://1.2.3.4/URLpath/. The PAC file does not resolve a domain to IP before matching an IP-based domain for bypass.
