Concurrent connection threads refer to how many separate connections a proxy can handle at the same time — think of them like lanes on a highway. The more threads available, the more “lanes” there are for traffic (requests) to pass through without slowing down.
Example:
If your proxy plan allows 100 threads, it can handle up to 100 simultaneous connections. This might include:
- Multiple browser tabs open at once
- Several tools using the proxy
- Different users connected to the same proxy
Key Things to Know
- Exceeding the thread limit can cause dropped or failed connections.
- Threads ≠ speed — upgrading your internet speed will not change your thread allowance.
- Websites with heavy content or multiple tabs can consume more threads than expected.
What To Do If You Hit the Limit
If you’re experiencing connection issues related to thread limits:
- Try reducing the number of open tabs or simultaneous tools.
- Monitor your usage against your plan’s thread limit.
If needed, consider upgrading to a higher-thread plan.
