Create a proxy profile
You can configure a proxy profile to use a PAC file or a single proxy server with an optional exclusion list (for example, a list of websites that users can access directly from their devices without using a proxy server). Proxy profiles support basic authentication with a proxy server (for example, authentication using a username and password).
