PAC Files for Proxy Configuration

This repository contains PAC files for automatic proxy configuration, which help you bypass internet restrictions and improve your browsing experience.

Features

  • Automatic proxy configuration to route traffic to specific servers.
  • Compatible with various browsers and tools.
  • Supports proxy management extensions such as SwitchyOmega.

How to Use PAC Files for Bypassing Censorship and Enhancing Privacy

PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) files allow you to route your internet traffic through a proxy server, enabling secure and uncensored access to websites. These files are often used to bypass filtering restrictions, sanctions, and to enhance internet security and privacy.

In this article, we will teach you how to use different PAC files along with the Proxy SwitchyOmega extension in the Chrome browser, as well as how to use them on Android and Windows devices.

Important Note: Different PAC files have servers located in various countries, which can impact speed, security, and access to different websites. We will introduce some of these files and the countries where their servers are located. Based on your needs (speed or access to specific content from a particular country), you can select the most suitable option.

1. PAC File Locations and Server Countries

Here are the locations of the servers and the countries associated with the PAC files:

  1. Canada - Canadian Server
