Heavy particles such as protons and alpha particles of certain energy will lose all their energies in a definite distance in a medium, and this distance is called the range. The range is the distance travelled by the particle.The range depends on the energy and mass of the particles.

Hello mate here is your answer.
In a general statement, one can say that interaction range ∝∝1/( gauge bosons mass). That is true for electromagnetism and electroweak both. But in case of QCD though gluons are massless the interaction is short ranged. This is the interplay between abelian nature of the theory and confinement. There is no direct relation between confinement and gluon mass.
Hope it helps you.
