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.
Supported features
- Can be mandatory: Yes
- Can be recommended: No
- Dynamic Policy Refresh: No - Requires browser restart
- Per Profile: No
- Applies to a profile that is signed in with a Microsoft account: Yes
