Troubleshooting

I missed the network extension prompt

Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and look for a message about Lagsmith’s extension, then click Allow. On newer versions of macOS, also check System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions. Then quit and reopen Lagsmith.

The app isn’t slowing down

  • Check the network extension is allowed (above).
  • Conditions apply to new connections. Restart the app, or relaunch it from Lagsmith.
  • If you use a host rule, check the app’s requests go to a host the rule covers.

Everything is slow, not just one app

Check that Apple’s Network Link Conditioner is switched off in System Settings. It slows down the whole Mac.

I don’t see a simulator app’s requests, or Airplane Mode doesn’t change NWPathMonitor

Relaunch the app with request monitoring from Lagsmith.

Still stuck?
