ipfw has been depreciated since OSX 10.7 and removed in OSX 10.10. It has been replaced by pfctl

Apple provides the exact same functionality via the Network Link Conditioner. You can download it via the Apple Developer Downloads. There's really no reason for this project still be active (which is why it isn't)

More info on the Network Link Conditioner can be found here.

Chrome dev tools also has this feature.

@maddox Network Link Conditioner is not working on localhost, speedlimit does.

@maddox Network Link Conditioner is not working on localhost, speedlimit does.

I've only ever used this locally. I mean, this was made specifically as a dev tool, of course it works locally.

@lacek did you try using 127.0.0.1?

maddox avatar Jan 26 '15 13:01 maddox

@maddox I tried both 127.0.0.1 and localhost, neither works. Tested on Chrome and Firefox with 100% Loss Profile, once the conditioner's on I cannot access GitHub while 127.0.0.1 and localhost are still accessible instantly.

@maddox Why would you think there is no reason for continuing this project? is Network Link Conditioner open source?

Apple’s Network Link Conditioner doesn’t work for me on localhost either. Using 127.0.0.1 instead does not help. I hoped that speedlimit might be a solution, but since it is discontinued, it apparently isn’t. :(

Well, unless you need to limit not just HTTP stuff.

See https://github.com/jlongman/speedlimit.

  • No binary at the moment however.
  • ~~Haven't tested localhost, if~~ it works ~~with pf it should work.~~

ah here: https://github.com/jlongman/speedlimit/releases - I'm new to doing releases though.

Hardware IO Tools for Xcode (Network Link Conditioner) should work too macOS/iOS.

Yes and it's more configurable (at least in the UI) but apparently it has problems with localhost which speedlimiter does not. I've not tested localhost with NLC myself, I have and it does work with speedlimiter.
