Configuring Connection Timeout
==============================

If you want to set a timeout duration for each request between your WAF instance and origin server, enable **Timeout Settings** and specify **WAF-to-Server connection timeout (s)**, **Read timeout (s)**, and **Write timeout (s)**. This function cannot be disabled once it is enabled.

.. note::

   -  The default timeout duration for connections between a browser and WAF is 120 seconds, which cannot be manually set.
   -  The default timeout duration for the connection between WAF and an origin server is 60 seconds. This topic walks you through how to customize the timeout duration.

Prerequisites
-------------

The website you want to protect has been added to WAF.

Constraints
-----------

-  The timeout duration for connections between a browser and WAF cannot be modified. Only timeout duration for connections between WAF and your origin server can be modified.
-  This function cannot be disabled once it is enabled.
