Hit MaxConn despite higher setting in config file I'm on Linux so I think that /etc/security/limits.d and /etc/security/limits.conf are where I would change the default settings for a user - however the ulimit-n setting in haproxy is a fraction of what the user's current ulimit -n is, and I'm not sure why.

I notice that ulimit-n and maxsock both show 4495 despite "ulimit -n" for the user showing 65536 (which is probably half of what I really want since each "session" is going to consume two sockets) as for ulimit-n on freebsd i need to set these two system flags: kern.maxfiles kern.maxfilesperproc what OS are you using? I'm using haproxy 1.5.12
