How to use
Basic pac:
Basic pac is composed by a definition of one single proxy or a pool of proxies. It is mandatory you to add a proxy port such as IP:PORT;
Also it is mandatory to use a semicolon as a final statement ( IP:PORT; )
When using a pool of proxies, you can choose BALANCE TRAFFIC in General Setting. A pool of proxies is formed by at least two different proxies. This general setting (if chossen) will create a random function that will balance the traffic between the pool you create.

Net exclusion ranges
Net exclusions ranges are not routable ip addresses that are widely used in networks nowadays. Those ranges are commonly excluded by the proxies. Reasons are several but according to my experience, most of the proxy traffic is Internet oriented. That is to say, proxies must inspect Internet objects not intranet objects. Internet object are affected by Security issues and content issues while intranet objects are under control of the company and most of the times it represents business oriented content.
For that reason, most of Pac files get rid of internal content that is served by intranet servers. Those servers are published in those ranges.
This is the reason why we present four non routable ranges that you can choose to except from getting through the proxy.
Click on those ranges that your company are using and this tools automatically will create JavaScript functions that make that job for you

Protocols
In basic mode, Pac tool will let you choose a different proxy per protocol. Protocols available in Pac files are Http, https, ftp. Choose this option if you need to setup a different proxy for every protocol.

Advanced PAC Tool
This screen will allow to create specific conditional proxies. For example, I would love to skip all youtube sites from proxy A and sending all request to proxy B. This kind of stuff are now possible to.
