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.

  • 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.
