What is a .JVS file?
The .JVS file extension stands for a JavaScript Proxy Autoconfig File. This type of file contains JavaScript code that helps automatically set up a web browser to connect to the internet through a specific proxy server. This means that the .JVS file tells the browser how to route its internet requests, often used in organizational or secure browsing environments to control or monitor internet access.
Although the .JVS extension is used, it is more common to see these files with the .PAC extension, which stands for Proxy Auto-Config. Both types of files perform the same function.
To open a .JVS file, you can use any standard web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Safari. These browsers can interpret the JavaScript code within the file to configure the proxy settings automatically. You don't need any special software to open a .JVS file—just a web browser.
