Ask HN: How do I force network failures during development against remote APIs?

2 points by I_dev_outdoors ↗ HN
I am working on a gateway product and would like to start focusing on reliability and handling intermediate networking errors. What are some techniques and tools I can use to force them so that I can write code that gracefully handles them? I am thinking stuff like certificate errors, DNS lookup failures, socket disconnected errors, timeouts, invalid data returned over the socket when expecting HTTP.

Thanks.

I found https://badssl.com/ which at least helps me with the SSL cert issues, but I would still love to hear any other good solutions for testing other types of networking errors.
