https://github.com/jagt/clumsy
Basically this program allows you to manipulate your internet
  • Lag, hold the packets for a short period of time to emulate network lagging.
  • Drop, randomly discard packets.
  • Throttle, block traffic for a given time frame, then send them in a single batch.
  • Duplicate, send cloned packets right after to the original one.
  • Out of order, re-arrange the order of packets.
  • Tamper, nudge bits of packet's content.
I just want to raise my ping a lil bit for Tarkov, i heard 65-125 ping is perfect and somehow better than 20 or even less
Can i get banned for Clumsy? I couldn't find pretty much any info except for old cheating forums threads where some ppl say that Clumsy is blacklisted by BattleEye (AntiCheat used by Tarkov), but is it still?
I mean its just gonna affect your network on Windows level, it even works when you're offline so it shouldn't trigger AC right?

get an openwrt router , install a package called netem
it can rise ping & simulate packet loss for both directions, it's safe to use since clumsy is flaged by some anticheat system, and you can be banned for that
