About Pausix
A practical, privacy-respecting internet speed limiter for people who want real control over their network — without giving up control over their data.
What Pausix is
Pausix is a mobile internet speed limiter and bandwidth limiter. It uses a local VPN-style approach to rate-limit the traffic flowing out of your device. The throttling engine runs entirely on your phone — there is no remote server, no third-party proxy and no traffic relayed through any infrastructure we operate.
In practice, Pausix is the kind of tool a developer or QA engineer would build for themselves: a one-tap network speed limiter that produces a predictable, measurable cap on throughput so you can test, debug or simply slow your phone down on purpose.
Why we built it
Most “bandwidth limiter” apps fall into one of two camps. Some route your traffic through a remote VPN server — which works, but introduces a third party between you and the internet. Others advertise speed limiting but quietly fail to throttle the protocols that matter, leaving you with a limiter that looks active but does nothing measurable.
We wanted something different: a local-first speed limiter app that does real packet-level rate limiting where the platform allows it, is upfront about what it can and cannot do on each operating system, and does not collect data it does not need.
How we approach privacy
On-device first
All throttling runs on your phone. Nothing is uploaded.
No analytics SDKs
The app ships without third-party analytics or ads.
No payload inspection
We only read the protocol headers needed to forward packets.
Honest about limits
When a feature is in development or platform-restricted, the app says so.
