ProxySaver Setup Scripts via PAC File
PAC File offers a niche but extremely powerful proxy control features. PAC file allows to filter, load balance, and route traffic, and once the config URL is set in your system, you can swap providers seamlessly in case of a failure.
A Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file is a JavaScript function definition that determines whether web browser requests (HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP) go direct to the destination or are forwarded to a web proxy server.
You can reference and redirect the traffic across multiple proxy saver instance based on the host. For example, when your upstream proxy blocks a domain, you can route to another automatically.
