MaxConnectionsPerProxyForWebSocket

Maximum number of concurrent connections to the proxy server for WebSocket requests

Supported versions

  • Windows: ≥ 148
  • macOS: ≥ 148
  • Android: ≥ 148
  • iOS: Not supported

Description

Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous connections to a proxy server for WebSocket requests.

To configure limits for non-WebSocket requests, see the MaxConnectionsPerProxy policy.

If you don't configure this policy, the default value of 32 is used.

Some web applications maintain multiple concurrent connections (for example, long-lived or hanging requests). Setting a value lower than the default may cause networking delays when many such applications are open.

Some proxy servers cannot handle a high number of concurrent connections per client. In these cases, reducing the value of this policy may improve reliability.

The supported range is 6 to 256:

  • Values less than 6 are treated as 6.
  • Values greater than 256 are treated as 256.

We recommend modifying this value only if required by your proxy server configuration or network environment.
