Proxy autoconfiguration is a feature that allows a client to automatically discover and configure the settings required to connect to a proxy server. This is typically done using a configuration file or script that provides instructions on how to set up the client's proxy settings.

The most common format for proxy autoconfiguration is the Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) file. A PAC file is a JavaScript file that contains functions to determine the appropriate proxy server(s) to use for a given URL or network condition. When a client is configured to use a PAC file, it will automatically execute the PAC script to determine the best proxy server for each request.

Another format for proxy autoconfiguration is the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD). WPAD uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) option or a Domain Name System (DNS) query to locate a configuration script (usually named "wpad.dat") that contains the proxy settings. The client then executes the script to determine the appropriate proxy server(s) to use.

Proxy autoconfiguration makes it easier for clients to connect to the correct proxy server without manual configuration, especially in large organizations or networks where proxy settings may change frequently. It also allows for centralized management of proxy settings, making it simpler to update or change configurations across the entire network.
