Force using direct mode for Microsoft Office 365

In some cases, you may want to ensure that users' browsers do not use the proxy when accessing Microsoft Office 365 services, as recommended by Microsoft for optimal performance and reliability.

Return back to the Proxy.PAC service main section.

Artica simplifies this process with its built-in Office 365 feature, which automatically retrieves the latest list of Office 365 endpoints every 4 hours.
Based on this list, Artica dynamically generates and updates your proxy.pac file to bypass the proxy for those services — no manual configuration required.
This ensures seamless connectivity to Microsoft services while maintaining

Once you've activated this feature, you don't need to do a thing: the list of sites and IP addresses is automatically retrieved and inserted into your PAC file.
When the update process detects an update of sites and addresses, it automatically regenerates the associated PAC rule.

This feature is available on Artica v4.50 Service Pack 1 or Artica 4.50 Hotfix 20231024-12

On the left menu, go to Proxy.pac/WAP service > WPAD Rules.
