How to Redirect Websites With PAC Files
Proxy auto-configuration files or PAC files are used by Web browsers to gain access to their proxy settings. PAC files can be long or short in length and are written in JavaScript. PAC files can configure a single proxy or several proxies for Web browser to use. PAC files are helpful in this way as you can redirect Web browsers to different proxies by modifying just one PAC file. With the Notepad HTML editor, you can redirect websites by setting up your PAC file.
