Using a PAC file with Web Security Gateway Anywhere
PAC File Best Practices | Web Security Gateway (Anywhere) | Version 7.x
Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere combines on-premises and hybrid (in-the-cloud) filtering as needed, to manage Internet activity. Typically, the on-premises software provides web security for the main office or campus, while smaller regional offices or satellite locations send their Internet requests through the hybrid service. Hybrid filtering is also useful for users who are off-network, such as telecommuters and those who travel for business.
In this hybrid web security solution, the PAC file used to enable hybrid filtering contains a number of global settings, and also allows you to configure sites that users can access directly without sending the request to the hybrid service (for example, intranet sites or organizational web mail).
All users are configured with a single PAC file. This PAC file applies whether the user is inside the network or outside the network. A common PAC file definition will direct users to the on-premises Content Gateway when they are inside the network, and to the hybrid service when they are outside the network. However, other configurations are possible.
For complete information on configuring hybrid filtering, including information about customizing the PAC file, see Configure Hybrid Filtering and the sections it links to.
