Network Conditions

Simulate slow network with various network profiles. Useful for testing

1. What's it?

Network Conditions (Network Throttling) v1 allows developers to simulate adverse networking environments. Proxyman provides various preset profiles:

Profile	Description
100% Lost connection	100 % lost all connection
Very Bad Network	Download/Upload: < 1mbps
Slow Network	Download/Upload: 5-10 mbps
Medium Network	Download/Upload: 10-20 mbps
2G (EDGE)	Download: <240kbps, Upload <200kbps
3G	Download: <780kbps, Upload <300kbps
4G (LTE)	Download: 30-50mbps, Upload 5-10mbps
Wi-Fi	Download: 25-40mbps, Upload 15-30mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11ac	Download: 150-250mbps, Upload 70-100mbps

2. Benefit?

• Various preset profiles: 3G, 4G, Wifi, Bad/Medium Network, etc.

• Help developers to simulate various network conditions (Download/Upload Bandwidth, Packets Dropped rate, delay).

• Easier to test your app under a particular network condition.

• Apply for system-Wide or certain domains.

Network Conditions v1 does not allow you to customize a profile. We will implement it in v2.

To better simulate the real-life, the download/upload bandwidth is not fixed, it might randomize in a given range.

3. How to use it?

You can access the feature by navigating to Tool -> Network Condition (CMD+SHIFT+J) or access from the right-menu context.

Set Network Condition for particular domain
