== WPAD - Web Proxy Autodiscovery ==

+

Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol, or WPAD, is a technology which aids a web browser in automatically detecting the location of a PAC file using DNS or DHCP.

+

A browser that supports both DHCP and DNS will first attempt to locate a PAC file using DHCP, and should a DHCP configuration not exist fail-over to DNS WPAD will occur. If neither are configured, a browser will fail open.
