Prisma Access: Explicit Proxy Forwarding Profiles with Multiple PAC File
Support
January 22, 2024
Supported on Strata Cloud Manager for: Prisma Access
Managing explicit proxy traffic using single or multiple Proxy Auto-Configuration
(PAC) files introduces complexity and management burden. You can now manage traffic
flow and bypass rules by using Forwarding Profiles instead of only a single PAC
file. Forwarding Profiles enable you to define forwarding rules and
objects from a dedicated interface rather than dealing with the inherent technical
complexity of a PAC file.
If you currently use a PAC file, you can migrate to Forwarding Profiles by importing
the PAC file into a profile. Additionally, if you manage multiple PAC files for
different traffic types, you can import these PAC files into separate profiles to
use them simultaneously. In addition to standard proxy deployments, you can also use
Forwarding Profiles to define the flow of traffic through GlobalProtect® in Proxy or Tunnel and Proxy mode.
