What is PAC? Automatic Proxy Configuration It is mostly used as a traffic director or redirector for internet browsers. Corporations use it for both internet and intranet. In addition, they can also blacklist websites, or rather deny access to them. Mostly used to keep employees off social media while they work. This implementation uses a PAC file written in javascript to whitelist websites and deny everything else.
